TUCSON - The No. 26-ranked Arizona Wildcat women's tennis team continued Pac-10 play today as they hosted No. 71 Washington State. The Wildcats picked up their second Pac-10 victory with a 6-1 win over the Cougars.
"The girls played a good match today," said head coach Vicky Maes. "Washington State is a strong team and we had to work for every match. I was proud of the way we competed on all courts. We are definitely in need of a little break though and this coming week will be perfect to recharge our batteries."
