Cowgirls Roll Past UNLV

Wyoming wins doubles, takes 3-of-4 completed in singles

LARAMIE, Wyo. (March 30, 2025) – The Wyoming Cowgirls put together an impressive victory Sunday at home, surging by UNLV for a 4-1 win. The Cowgirls won doubles and then took 3-of-4 of the competed singles matches on the day.

Wyoming (5-13, 2-4 MW) controlled doubles play, earning wins at the No. 1 and No. 3 positions. At No. 1, the tandem of Violetta Borodina and Dilnaz Mashabayeva got back on track with a 6-3 win. While at the third position, Serina Abriola and Ruby Young rolled, 6-1.

“It was a team win today,” said Head Coach Dean Clower.

“We got after it on all three lines of doubles, we’re starting to play Wyoming Style doubles. They’re starting to get it. With this many freshmen, it takes time, but, they’re coming along.”

In singles, the Cowgirls picked up victories at the one, two and four positions. Borodina was able to win at No. 1, pulling out a hard-fought, straight-sets victory, winning 6-4 and 7-6 (7-2). At No. 2, Anastasiia Kochelaevskaia was able to rally in both sets as she came out on top, 6-4 and 7-5. Elena Trencheva at the four spot had the smoothest match as she won drama-free, 6-4 and 6-2.

“Our leadership was big today, V (Borodina), Serina (Abriola). The energy they bring to all the girls and the confidence that they give to them. V played with confidence and Elena learned from Friday. Moving forward, I want to see the same types of things. We just have to keep moving forward in the right direction,” continued Clower.

Wyoming hits the road next weekend for a pair of matches as three of its final four regular season contests will come away from home. The Cowgirls face Utah State Friday and Boise State Sunday. Both matches will be at 11 a.m.
