Vandals prepare for much needed wins Print E-mail

The men’s tennis team will be looking to increase its winning record this weekend as it travels to Montana to take on the University of Montana and Montana State University.
Coming off of a 7-0 win against the University of Colorado and nearing the end of the regular season, the men are looking to improve their play and get back to the level of competitiveness they were at earlier this season.

“We ended that part of the year with a positive win,” said Idaho coach Jeff Beaman. “We got a mental break, a physical break over Spring Break.”
Beaman is hopeful that Spring Break is what the team needed to recover and come back hungry for more wins.

Junior Hugh McDonald said he feels confident about the competition in Montana and said that Spring Break was a good opportunity for the Vandals to take their minds off tennis and catch up on some school work.
Today the Vandals will take on the University of Montana, which holds a current record of 3-1 and will be looking to add to their three game win streak.

They continue their battle in Montana on Saturday as they match up against Montana State University, which holds a losing record of 5-9.
Montana State will be hungry for a win against the Vandals as they hope to end a devastating five-game losing streak.
The women’s tennis team continues to improve this season coming off a three win weekend where they improved their record to 8-8.

Members of the team are happy with the way they’re playing right now after holding a 3-7 record earlier this season.
The women will travel to Spokane on Sunday to play their only match of the weekend where they’ll take on Weber State, who has a current record of 3-9 and will be coming off an 18-day break.
Weber State lost to Portland State earlier this season, a team that the Vandals had no problem sweeping 7-0.

Beaman said the Vandals feel good about their competition this weekend and believe that their next four matches are all winnable.
“If we don’t show up we can definitely lose,” Beaman said, “we show up and I’m confident we can win.”
Both the men’s and women’s tennis teams will be practicing outside for the remainder of the season. Beaman said they’ll be at the “mercy of the weather.”
