PUEBLO, Colo. – Fort Hays State Tennis improved to 5-2 overall on the season with a 4-3 win over CSU-Pueblo on Saturday afternoon (March 9). The Tigers defeated the Thunderwolves by the same score they did in the fall portion of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The No. 1 team of Fiorella Mendez<\/a><\/dfn>and Yone Pereiro<\/a><\/dfn> fell 6-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a team point in hand, the Tigers needed to a least split singles matches for a win. They did just that, getting victories at the No. 4, 5, and 6 positions all in straight sets. Unruh won at the No. 4 position 6-1, 6-0, while Gill won by the same scores at the No. 5 position. Mendez blanked her opponent at the No. 6 position 6-0, 6-0.
