The BYU women's tennis team capped its Friday home doubleheader with a 6–1 win over Colorado State Rams women's tennis at the Indoor Tennis Courts last weekend, taking the doubles point early and continuing to collect results throughout singles play.
BYU coach Holly Hasler said the team’s focus remains on steady progress as the season moves forward.
“We are really emphasizing growth and improvement with every match, regardless of the opponent,” Hasler said. “Today was another good step forward. The girls stayed focused, competed well and did what they needed to do to earn two solid wins.”
The Cougars gained the early edge during doubles play, with two courts finishing in quick succession. Kendall Kovick and Sage Bergeson were first to finish on Court Two, posting a 6–2 victory after separating early and keeping Colorado State from finding a rhythm.
On Court One, Gracie Levelston and Karina Mohamed followed with a 6–4 win. The teams remained close through the opening games before BYU pulled ahead late, closing out the set behind a strong service game to put the Cougars in position to secure the doubles point.
Doubles play wrapped up on Court Three, where Bella Lewis and Sue Yan Tan worked through a tight set that featured extended games and several deuce points. The BYU pair ultimately came away with a 6–5 win, sealing the doubles point and sending the Cougars into singles play with a 1–0 lead.
Singles play continued in BYU’s favor.
Levelston opened singles competition on Court One with a 6–2, 6–3 win, remaining steady through longer rallies and limiting opportunities for her opponent to take control. Kovick followed on Court Two, earning a 6–3, 7–5 victory after navigating a close second set to extend BYU’s advantage.
Sage Bergeson added another point on Court Four, securing a 6–4, 6–4 result. After trading games early in both sets, Bergeson stayed composed late to keep BYU moving toward the clinch.
Bella Lewis pushed the Cougars closer to the team result with a 6–1, 6–4 win on Court Five. Lewis created separation late in each set and avoided momentum swings as the match progressed.
Karina Mohamed closed out BYU’s scoring on Court Six, pulling away late in both sets for a 7–5, 6–3 victory to secure the Cougars’ sixth point of the dual.
Colorado State earned its lone point on Court Three, where Sue Yan Tan was forced to retire after the opening set.
