LAS CRUCES, N.M. – NM State defeated a short-handed Sam Houston women's tennis team 4-0 in a Conference USA match Friday afternoon at the NM State Tennis Center.

The match marked the Aggies' second CUSA league victory in four contests and upped the squad's season mark to 12-8. Sam Houston stands 5-8 this season and 0-4 in CUSA play.

"It's tough with only five healthy players but the ladies on the court fought hard," head coach Rob Hubbard said. "When New Mexico State clinched after the doubles point and three singles we still were competing well in the remaining three matches."

Because of the five-player line-up the Kats had to default the No. 3 doubles match and the No. 6 singles contest. NM State earned the doubles point by winning at the number three position. Up 2-0 with the addition of the default at the six singles line, the Aggies posted victories at number three and five singles lines to earn the dual-match victory.

Next up for the Sam Houston women this weekend is another Conference USA matchup with UTEP in El Paso. The Bearkats play host to Middle Tennessee on April 11 and Liberty April 13 to close out the regular season schedule. The Kats travel to Lynchburg, Va. for the Conference USA Tournament beginning April 17.
