The Wyoming Cowgirl tennis team staged an epic comeback Sunday on the road at 67th-ranked Fresno State to win 4-3. The Cowgirls won the final four singles contests Sunday to roar back for the victory.
Wyoming (7-8, 2-0 MW) stormed back in the match to win the singles matches at No. 3 through No. 6. The Cowgirls won a trio of three-setters to stage the comeback, including winning a pair of third-set tiebreakers at the fourth and fifth spots.
“This was an amazing college tennis match,” said coach Dean Clower. “Fresno State is the defending regular season champions for a reason. I can’t describe how proud I am of the team, because of the heart they showed today.”
Violetta Borodina secured the win in heart-stopping fashion at the No. 4 spot, winning 4-6, 6-3 and 7-6 (10-8). Nikol Dobrilova also won in her tiebreaker at the fifth spot, as she rallied for a 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (7-4) victory. Noesjka Brink sparked the rally for the Cowgirls at No. 3 singles, as she won in straight-sets, 7-5 and 6-3. Meanwhile, at the sixth position, Ana Fernandez also picked up a three-set win as she rallied for a 5-7, 7-5 and 7-5 victory.
The day began with the Bulldogs winning a hard-fought point in doubles. Fresno State got wins at the No. 1 and No. 3 spots and secured the point with a tiebreak victory at No. 3, 7-6 (7-4). The tandem of Borodina and Maria Oreshkina won at the No. 2 spot for the Cowgirls, to win their seventh-straight match as a duo.
UW now looks to continue the momentum next week in Fort Collins, Colorado. Wyoming will face Nevada on Saturday and San Jose State on Sunday in a pair of neutral-site matchups.
