ARLINGTON, Texas - The Lady Mavericks made it look easy Saturday, sweeping Nicholls State and Southwest Missouri State at the UTA Tennis Center, each by 7-0 scores.
With the win over SMS, the Lady Mavericks improve to 2-3 on the season.
UTA claimed the doubles point with wins at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions. Czech natives Pavla Mesterova and Daniela Novakova made quick work of Gakevic and Manzur in the two hole (8-1), while Anete Rozklane and Monika Peciulionyte dropped Harmazy and Ardila, 8-2.
Rozkalne and Novakova each battled from one set down to give the Lady Mavs the sweep of singles play. Stangievic dropped Rozkalne 6-3 in the first set, but the junior battled for a 7-5 win in the second set and a 10-4 tie break win. Novakova narrowly dropped her first set, 7-6, but reclaimed the match with a 6-4 second set win and a 10-8 tie breaker.
Texas-Arlington will return to Southland Conference action Sunday when Southeastern Louisiana visits Arlington. First serve is set for 10 a.m. at the UTA Tennis Center.
