History

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – In its outdoor home opener on campus at the Beaman Family Tennis Complex Friday morning, the Belmont University women’s tennis team suffered a 4-0 loss to New Mexico State. The Bruins (1-11) were unable to win the all-important doubles point before the visiting Aggies (7-8) clinched the match with straight-set singles victories on courts four through six.
 
The top doubles tandem of redshirt freshman Savannah Webster and sophomore Jessica Popiol trailed 5-4 when New Mexico State secured the opening point. The Aggies clinched the doubles point with a 6-2 win at the third spot, courtesy of Dora Kurdi and Whitney Moon. New Mexico State’s Anna Klimova and Montana Parkinson-Lubold gave the Aggies their first win of the morning with a 6-3 set at No. 2 doubles against graduate Cielo Tapia-Cruz and junior Emma Grant.
 
In singles action, New Mexico State conceded no more than four combined games in any match at the No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6 positions.
 
The top three singles matches went unfinished.
 
At the top of the lineup, Webster led the Aggies’ Moon 3-1 in the second set after dropping the opening set, 6-4. Tapia-Cruz was knotted up at 4-4 in the second set with New Mexico State’s Parkinson-Lubold on court two after falling in the first set, 6-1.
 
Popiol had a promising 6-4, 3-2 lead on the Aggies’ Emma Petton at No. 3 singles when New Mexico State clinched the match.
