Lincoln - The No. 41 Nebraska women’s tennis team blanked IowaState, 7-0, Saturday, April 22, at the NU Varsity Courts. With the victory, the Huskers improved to 15-7 overall and 6-4 in the Big 12.
The Huskers started quickly and did not let up throughout the match. Senior Pamela Castillejos and freshman Vanessa Heute got Nebraska off on the right foot with an 8-4 win over Chrissy Derouin and Caitlin Loprinzi, 8-4, at No. 3 doubles. Nebraska senior Milena Schulz-Gartner and freshman Kim Hartmann posted their 15th doubles win of the season, as they rolled over Kara Hickey and Beth Chermel, 8-4, at No. 2.
Schulz-Gartner’s doubles win marked the 47th of her career to tie her with Husker great Lisa Hart at No. 4 on NU’s career doubles win chart.
The Huskers rolled through singles, taking five out of six matches in straight sets. Schulz-Gartner made quick work of Loprinzi, 6-0, 6-1, at No. 3, and Reimers posted her fourth straight win by dominating Hickey, 6-1, 6-1.
Heute moved up to No. 5 in the lineup and the move paid off for the Huskers and Coach Scott Jacobson. Heute dominated the first set, 6-1, but fell in the second set, 6-3. The freshman came out determined for the third set and rolled over Derouin, 6-0, to take the match. Heute’s win extended her personal winning streak to nine singles matches.
“It was a great team effort today,” Jacobson said. “We got off to a quick start in doubles and continued to play at a high emotional level. I was proud of our passion and team effort today.”
The Huskers return to the courts Sunday, April 23, at noon for Senior Day at the NU Varsity Courts. Nebraska will clash with No. 66 Kansas State in the Huskers' final regular-season home match of the year.
