LARAMIE, Wyo. (Feb. 27, 2020) – The Wyoming women's tennis team looks to get back to its winning ways with a pair of road matches this weekend as the Cowgirls travel to face New Mexico State and UTEP.

Wyoming begins the weekend with a Saturday, February 29 match against New Mexico State beginning at noon. The Cowgirls will wrap the quick road swing with a 10 a.m., contest against UTEP Sunday, March 1.

"The team had a great week of practice, covering a lot of areas where we needed to work on," said Head Coach Dean Clower.

"We are looking forward to competing against a pair of very good teams in tough environment. I will be looking this weekend to improve on all of the areas that we worked on this week in preparation for the upcoming conference season."

The Cowgirls (5-2) saw their three-match winning streak snapped last Saturday at Colorado in a 6-1 loss to the Buffaloes. Senior Ana Royo got the lone win for UW on the day, winning a three-set thriller over CU's Maria Campos. Set scores went 6-0, 2-6 and 10-8.

The Aggies (1-5) have played one match at home this spring, a 4-3 win over New Mexico. UTEP has already played 10 matches this spring and has a 3-7 mark on the year and have played a pair of MW opponents in Utah State, a 6-1 loss and UNLV, who defeated the Miners 4-0.

Following this weekend, the Cowgirls will have three more road matches before finally playing in Laramie, March 13 against Eastern Washington.
