LOGAN, Utah -
Utah State's men's and women's tennis teams opened their fall seasons with the weather-affected Weber State Wildcat Invitational this past weekend. The tournament was played in both Ogden on Friday and in Logan on Saturday. Due to the weather, the tournament was concluded after the quarterfinal round.
On the women's side, USU's Sarah Lowe won her quarterfinals match with an 8-4 victory against Kathy Kmiec of Northern Arizona. Lowe was 1-0 in the tournament, while Whitney Scott was the only other Aggie woman to win a match. USU did get a doubles victory from Jocee Mason and Amy Thatcher.
The Aggie men sent four of its players into the second round after Andy Madesbacher advanced with a first-round bye and Clayton Thomas, Tim Burrell and Jonah Nelson all posted first-round victories. However all four Aggies lost in the second round.
Like the women, USU's men gained a doubles victory as Madesbacher teamed with Nelson to beat a tandem from Northern Arizona.
Utah State's tennis teams will return to the court to compete in the BYU Invitational.
