LINCOLN, Nebraska – South Dakota women's tennis suffered a 4-0 setback to Colorado State on Sunday inside the Dillon Tennis Center on the University of Nebraska campus.
Â
The Coyotes (3-8) lost all four singles matches in straight sets after falling in doubles play two matches to one.
Â
Natka Kmoskova and
Bea Havlickova earned a 6-4 win at No. 3 doubles before Colorado State pulled out a 7-5 win at No. 2 doubles to win the points.
Â
Havlickova, Kmoskova and
Habiba Aly were each tied one set apiece when the match was stopped.
Â
"Colorado State played well and especially well when the sets got tight today," coach
Brett Barnett said. "We had chances in doubles again and at a couple different matches if we can play ahead. We competed well in singles but it's tough playing from behind and dropping first sets.Â
Â
"We need to do a better job managing some emotions and avoiding big lapses of energy and concentration. Time to get back to work and get ready for summit league play to start soon"
