SEATTLE, Wash. – After nearly a month's delay, the Boise State women's tennis team opened the team dual season on Saturday at 28th-ranked Washington in Seattle. Though the Blue and Orange fell 7-0 to the Huskies, it was good for the Broncos to finally get on the court for some real action. Boise State moved to 0-1 on the season while Washington improved to 9-4.
Â
The Huskies opened the match by taking the team doubles point 2-0 with wins on courts one and three. Boise State's No. 2 doubles team of Holly Stewart and Shauna Heffernan were leading their match 5-4 when the contest was abandoned with the clinching of the team point.
Â
In singles play, Boise State was led by Nicole Discenza and Ana Conde Vendrell on courts five and four, respectively. Discenza battled Washington's Kelly Leung before falling 6-3, 6-2, while Conde Vendrell fell 6-2, 6-2 to the Huskies' Hikaru Sato. Â
Â
Boise State will return to Boise for its home openers this coming week when they host both Idaho State on March 4 and Portland State on March 5.
