OGDEN, Utah - The Western Michigan women's tennis team began its spring break trip to Utah with a 4-3 loss at Weber State University on Monday, March 4.

The loss snaps the Broncos' four-match winning streak and moves their overall record to 8-5 on the season. 

After going up 1-0 with doubles wins on courts one and three from Bronco duos of Fevralev/Tiraspolsky & Slavova/Azcui, the home team responded in singles to take a 2-1 advantage with wins at the No. 1 and No. 4 positions. 

WMU fought back to take a 3-2 lead with a pair of victories for Tiraspolsky and Riegraf at courts five and six as both matches went to a third set. However, the Wildcats bounced back again to seal the win with wins at courts two and three, as Azcui and Fevralev both fell in three-set heartbreakers.
