April 17, 2004

SPOKANE, Wash. - The Gonzaga University men's and women's tennis teams ended their regular seasons on a positive note as both teams defeated Lewis-Clark State College in 4-3 victories for the last home match of the season, battling through a 90-minute rain delay. The women take an 11-11 record into the West Coast Conference Championships, held April 23-25, while the men improved to 6-17 going into the tournament.

The Gonzaga men won two of three doubles matches to earn the doubles point to take the early lead. Bryce Cooper and Brett Womack teamed up in the No. 1 spot to defeat Borja Molas and Ari Zaslow, 8-1, while Dru Ernst and Reid Arthur defeated Dimitri Verabyou and Gui Martins, 8-6 for the Bulldog point. Robert Penney and Jesse Goldsmith were defeated by LC State's Levi Brown and Marek Kufel, 9-7.

Singles play was split between the teams as Gonzaga won three-of-six matches. Cooper defeated Verabyou (6-1, 6-2) early as the No. 1, but Ernst fell to Borja Molas (6-1, 7-5) to give the Bulldogs a 2-1 advantage as the match was temporarily delayed due to rain. Womack earned his Bulldog point with a 7-6, 2-6, 7-5 win over Zaslow and Arthur confirmed the Gonzaga victory as he defeated Martins, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5. Penney was defeated by Kufel, 6-1, 7-6, and Goldsmith fell to Phil McKeague, 6-4, 6-3.

The Bulldog women also took the doubles point as the No. 2 and No. 3 teams earned victories. Katie Sanders and Florence Wasko won the first match for Gonzaga over Sonam Yangchen and Ana Cornea, 8-3, while Leigh Orne and Sirrah Williams battled Eleanor Specht and Khaliun Enkhjargal for the 9-7 win at the No. 2.

The Gonzaga women split singles play as well with Orne earning the first Bulldog point at the No. 3 (6-1, 6-4) over Enkhjargal. Buterbaugh was defeated in the No. 1 spot by Keng (6-3, 6-3), but the Gonzaga women held a 2-1 edge coming out of the rain delay.
