GCU meet Sun Devils for 1st time as Division I opponents
The Grand Canyon women's tennis team opened the spring season with a 7-0 loss Monday at No. 20 Arizona State. It was the first meeting between the two schools since 1993.
Â
ASU took the doubles point, winning on all three courts and taking two of the three matches by 6-0 scorelines. GCU sophomore Natasha Puehse and junior Jana Weiss, who teamed up in doubles last year, competed in the top spot and fell 6-3. Newcomers Taylor Andersen and Joely Lomas saw their first action with the Lopes, competing at No. 3 in a 6-0 loss.
Â
In singles, the Sun Devils won all six matches in straight sets but the Lopes competed on multiple courts. At the No. 1 position, Puehse lost her first set 6-2 but bounced back to make it a tighter 6-4 scoreline in the second against Arizona State's Ilze Hattingh, the 37th-ranked singles player in the country.
After falling 6-3 in her first singles match at No. 4, senior Autum Prudhomme bounced back and nearly forced a tiebreaker before losing the second set 7-5. ASU finished the sweep at No. 6 with GCU freshman Aline Buhr seeing her first collegiate action in a 6-3, 6-2 loss.
Â
The Lopes will be back in action this weekend when they host Arizona at the GCU Tennis Facility. Â
