Riding high from their Friday doubleheader wins over Lubbock Christian and Collin County, the Aggies carried their momentum into Sunday’s matchup against Abilene Christian, cruising to a dominant 4-0 victory.
NM State set the tone early in doubles play, claiming victories from the duos of Nadia Nemeth and Anna Pinaieva, as well as Whitney Moon and Nemeth. Nemeth and Pinaieva toppled Masha Vrsalovic and Alice Klinteby with a decisive 6-3 win. Shortly after, Nemeth paired with Moon to breeze past Eva Arranz and Maria Cascos, 6-2.
In singles competition, the Aggies leaned on their experienced trio of Lisa Zhu, Pinaieva, and Moon to secure the necessary three wins. Zhu glided past Vrsalovic, 6-2, 6-4, while Pinaieva matched that scoreline in a victory over Olivia Sears. The clinching point came from Moon in a hard-fought battle, edging her opponent 7-6, 6-4, 7-6 to complete the sweep.
With the win, NM State improves to 3-2 in their spring season and continues to build momentum heading into their next challenge.
