LOGAN, Utah — The T-Bird women's tennis team took a loss in Logan on Saturday against Utah State University 6-1 in just their third match of the season.

Eira Tobrand, a freshman out of Sweden, locked in the only win for the Thunderbirds in the No. 2 spot for the singles matches. After dropping the first set, Tobrand took the second two 6-2 to pull away with the victory.

In a close contest, Charity Sagiao took her match to three sets in the No. 5 spot, but came just short in the end.

The No. 1 doubles spot, occupied by Ghita Nassik and Daniela Cozzi, was not easy prey for the Aggies, though Utah State pulled away late 6-4.

Southern Utah's next match will be in February in St. George against Colorado Mesa University, where the Thunderbirds will seek their first win of the 2018 campaign.
