It was a tough day for the Seattle University women's tennis team Saturday, as it lost to Northern Arizona and New Mexico State by identical 7-0 scores at the New Mexico State Tennis Center.

Seattle U could not pick up a doubles set, even though two of them went to a deciding tiebreaker. Freshman Corinne Wurden was involved in both tiebreakers, first teaming with Katrina Schwab in the number one doubles position against Northern Arizona, losing to Edit Suhajda and Orsi Golovics in the tiebreaker, 7-3. She then combined with Anna Lambert in the number three doubles spot against New Mexico State, falling to Natalia Salum and Ros-Polly Nguyen in the tiebreaker, 7-4.

All 12 singles matches for the Redhawks went to the opponents in straight sets. Senior Ariel Ohno came the closest to picking off a set during the day, forcing the first set of her afternoon match against New Mexico State's Isabela Kulaif to a tiebreaker, but Kulaif earned the 7-4 victory in the tiebreaker on her way to a straight-set victory.

Seattle University (1-9) returns to El Paso, Texas, for a neutral-site contest against Northern Colorado Sunday, Feb. 20, beginning at 9 a.m. local time. The Redhawks suffered a tough loss to Bears Jan. 30 in Colorado Springs, 4-3.
