Las Vegas, Nevada - The Wichita State Shockers women's tennis team battled tough weather conditions and a match delay of 90 minutes in Las Vegas on Saturday but they still came away with a 5-2 defeat of Denver University.

"The conditions were cold and windy which didn't make for he prettiest tennis today but we competed very well and found a way to get the win," head coach Colin Foster said.  "  We're now playing with much better confidence and energy in the doubles than we were earlier in the year, and we're doing well to carry that over into singles play.

Veronika Blaskova improved to 8-0 and Lutfiana Budiharto to 7-1 this spring with each of their singles victories on Satuday.

Next action for the Shockers will be against the UNLV Rebels on Sunday.
