PROVO, Utah (2/6/2015) - Megan LaLone won the No. 3 singles match to lead Boise State at Brigham Young in a 6-1 loss to the 55th-ranked Cougars at Provo, Utah. BYU claimed the doubles point and five singles matches to claim the ITA Mountain Region win. The loss was the second of the year on the road for the Broncos against a nationally ranked opponent as Boise State moved to 4-2 on the year.
BYU won the team doubles point with victories in the first two matches completed. On court two Arianna Paules Aldrey and Megan LaLone fell 6-1, followed by Bobbi Oshiro and Sammie Watson who fell 6-3 at the No. 1 position. The final match on court three was suspended once the team point was decided.
The Cougars clinched the match by winning on courts two, four and one to take a 4-0 advantage. Not long after that Boise State recorded its lone victory on the day when LaLone dispatched BYU's Nicolette Tran in a third set 10-point tiebreak. The junior from Stanwood, Wash., rallied after dropping the first set 6-1, to take set two 6-3, then followed with a 10-5 win in the tiebreaker. LaLone is now 18-4 in singles on the year and undefeated 5-0 in duals this semester.
Next up for Boise State is a trip to the prestigious Blue Gray National Tennis Classic Feb. 20-22 in Montgomery, Ala.
