@UNCO_WTennis Suffers Loss Against Montana
4/14/2018 2:23:00 PM | Women's Tennis
MISSOULA, Mont. - Northern Colorado freshmen Tristen Bryant-Otake and Mana Koitabashi put in gritty performances against the Griz to force third sets, but it wasn't enough to slow down Montana who defeated the Bears 7-0 Saturday morning in Missoula.
The loss drops Northern Colorado to 5-12, 1-8 in the Big Sky conference, which eliminates them from contention for a place in the conference championship later this month. Montana improved to 8-14 overall, 4-6 in the Big Sky. The win also helped them snap a four game losing streak.
In doubles, Montana took No. 1 and No. 3 but Raffa Mora and Madeline Doherty teamed up at No. 2 to defeat Cat Orfanos and Nathalie Joanlanne in a close set 6-4. Leading 1-0, the Grizzlies took straight set wins at No. 1, No. 3, and No. 6 but met resistance from the Bears at the other positions.
Tristen Bryant-Otake took the first set against Nathalie Joanlanne but could not hold on and lost 4-6, 6-1, 6-2. Sarina Chhabra also took her first set at No. 4 against Cat Orfanos but lost the match 2-6, 6-2, 6-2. No. 5 Mana Koitabashi forced a super-tiebreaker for the third set but lost by just two points 2-6, 6-3, 10-8. Raffa Mora again played No. 1 singles for UNC and lost to Cam Kincaid 7-5, 6-2.
COACH COMMENTS
"We were very proud of the entire team today for showing up, fighting and competing hard," said Bears assistant coach Marissa Baca. "We believe that any one of the matches could've gone our way and we are seeing a lot growth within all of our players' games. We aren't looking at it as just a 7-0 loss. We weren't disappointed with the outcome."
UP NEXT
The Bears finish the weekend with a match Sunday against Montana State in Bozeman at 9:00 a.m. They return home on April 18 to play Air Force at 2:30 p.m. Northern Colorado has four matches left in the regular season. Two are at home and two are against Big Sky Opponents.
