(Surprise, Ariz. - Feb. 19, 2024) - The Trailblazer women's tennis team closed out its Arizona road trip on Monday morning with a 5-0 win over Ottawa University hosted at the Surprise Tennis & Racquet Complex.

"The team played amazing and picked up a great win," added head coach Eric Pelton.

Utah Tech (4-5) claimed the opening point after winning the number one and two doubles.

Rachel Mellor, Ya-Chi Hsu and Laura Coulome earned points at number three, four and five singles to clinch the match as Ana Gutierrez Sampere and Mariana Zurita matches at number one and two singles went unfinished. Raquel Roshak won by default at number six singles as the Spirit only had five available players.

The Trailblazers return to court on March 1-2 when they travel to Las Vegas for matches against Northern Arizona (1-2) and UNLV (6-2).
