Riverside, Calif. - The No. 68 Nebraska women's tennis team won its first road match of the season on Wednesday as it defeated the UC Riverside Highlanders, 6-1. The Huskers improved to 7-5 on the season. NU got off to a quick start, sweeping the doubles matches and taking an early 1-0 lead. Nebraska's tandem of junior Imke Reimers and freshman Diana Kuhl, playing at the No.1 doubles position, ended a five-match winning streak by UCR's No. 1 singles duo of Erynne Oki and Donna McCullough, as the Huskers earned an 8-4 victory. The Huskers didn't slow down in singles play. Reimers, ranked No. 57 in the nation in singles, blanked UCR's Oki at the No. 1 singles position, 6-0, 6-0. It was the first time all season that Reimers has won a match without conceding a single game to her opponent. Maria Ring, playing in the No. 4 singles position, picked up her third straight win with a three-set victory over Yasaman Sakhakorn, 6-0, 3-6, 6-4. Ashley Finnegan continued the Huskers' run as she picked up a 6-1, 6-1 victory in the No. 6 spot over UCR's Alexandra Khoury. The outcome in her singles matches have mirrored the Huskers' overall wins and losses. Every match the Huskers have won, Finnegan has won her singles match, while every match the Huskers have lost, Finnegan has lost her singles match. The trend continued on Wednesday as Finnegan picked up the win at singles and the Huskers notched a victory. The Huskers play again on Friday, March 23, against Northern Iowa at the Nebraska Tennis Center. The match is set for 9 a.m., as the Husker men's tennis team plays the same day at the Nebraska Tennis Center at 2 p.m. No. 68 Nebraska 6, UC Riverside 1
