ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Boise State picked up wins at the top three singles positions, but came up short Sunday, in a 4-3 loss at New Mexico. The Broncos (12-7) are 2-2 in divisional play, with each of the last three matches being decided 4-3.
After the Lobos (5-11) took the doubles point, Boise State eventually evened the team score behind wins from Ajna Dokic, Hanna Kantenwein and Lilian Poling on courts one, two and three, respectively. New Mexico earned straight-set wins on courts four, five and six, including the decisive match at court five.
Kantenwein's 6-2, 6-2 win at No. 2 singles is her fourth consecutive victory and brings her spring record to 10-7. She joins Dokic, Poling, Nancy Menjivar and Kirsty Venter with double-digit singles wins this spring.
Boise State has a week off before its conference finale April 22, at Utah State. The Broncos will play their last home game April 23, against College of Idaho. The Mountain West Championship is set for April 27-30, in Las Vegas.
