LARAMIE, Wyo. (March 5, 2020) – The Wyoming tennis team looks to build on its solid two-win weekend last week with another pair of matches this week on the road. The Cowgirls will travel to Lincoln, Neb., to face Nebraska March 7 at 10 a.m., and Illinois State for a 10 a.m., contest March 8.

The Cowgirls (7-2) are 3-2 in true road matches so far this spring and are a perfect 4-0 in neutral site matches. UW is coming off a 5-2 victory at New Mexico State last Saturday and a 6-1 win at UTEP Sunday.

Maria Oreshkina continues to lead the way for the Cowgirls in singles play this season, posting a 7-2 record so far playing at the No. 1 position.

On the doubles side, Oleksandra Balaba and Oreshkina are 5-2 playing at the No. 1 and 2 spots while the tandem of Clara Mansart and Ana Royo are also 5-2, primarily playing at the No. 3 doubles position.

For her efforts last weekend against the Aggies and Miners, Oreshkina took home her second Mountain West Women's Tennis Athlete of the Week honor this season, announced Wednesday. Oreshkina also nabbed the award following the first week of the season, January 22.

The Cornhuskers are 9-3 already on the season and are a perfect 7-0 at home. Nebraska has a pair of wins this season over Mountain West teams, having defeated Air Force 4-3 and Colorado State, 6-1. Illinois State is 5-5 on the year and will be playing its first neutral site match of the spring against Wyoming.
