BOZEMAN, Mont. (Feb. 7, 2020) – The Wyoming women's tennis team made it a perfect day on the courts as the Cowgirls swept a pair of matches Friday in Bozeman, Montana as they blanked Seattle, 4-0 and then bested Montana State, 7-0.

"I felt like we came ready to play in all of our spots today," said Head Coach Dean Clower.
