Eastern Washington University women's tennis faced Washington State today, Feb. 24 in Pullman, Wash., and fell to the score of 7-0 at the Simmelink Tennis Courts this afternoon. The Eagles move to a 2-3 overall record and look to strike even with a non-conference home match this Sunday.

"I was very happy with how we competed today. The results did not go our way, but we really had great energy and we played in the moment with good intensity," said head coach Dustin Hinson. "We gave our best effort from start to finish. We will continue to work on getting healthy and committing when we have the lead and when the score is close in matches. We look forward to another tough home match on Sunday when we welcome Saint Mary's to Cheney."

EWU fought hard in doubles play, with Renata Gabuzyan teaming up with Kenzington Mann at the No. 2 spot, winning four games before falling 6-4. Scout Mathews and Sara Vasic also hit the ball well at No. 3 doubles before the match went 6-4 in WSU's favor.

In singles, the Eagles completed five out of six matches with the Cougars taking a walkover win at No. 6.
