Sophia Thomas scored the Wildcat's only point when she defeated Hana Mraz 7-5, 6-2 on court six.
"I was very pleasantly surprised with the team today," said head coach
Vicky Maes. "I think we came out and battled on every single court. In doubles, we had good starts on all three courts but let it slip away. Some of the scores in our singles matches don't reflect how close the games were. I don't think we let our opponents intimidate us, which is what we have been working on. We just try to play our game and try to bring out the best in ourselves. The energy on and off the court was great, and for me it was a nice change to see in the girls."
The Cats will host Washington on Friday, April 6 at 1:30 p.m. MST and Washington State on Saturday, April 7 at 12 p.m. MST.
