The Idaho tennis teams faced an uphill battle heading into the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
When the dust settled, the high seeded opponents of both the men’s and women’s teams proved too formidable, and the Vandals went home after just one match.
The women kicked off competition against No. 13 seed Pepperdine. In Malibu, California, the women fell 4-0.
“We played a very tough team,” said head coach Babar Akbar in a news release. “They (Pepperdine) are going to go very far in this tournament. The score does not show it, but I think our girls played very well.
