ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Former University of New Mexico women's tennis coach Erica Perkins Jasper took over the reins of the program ahead of the 2013 season and was tasked with building the program into a championship contender. Initially that may have appeared to be a daunting task considering the three seasons prior to her arrival, however, the Lobo women's tennis team had won just 17 matches overall and a mere two within the Mountain West.
Despite that, with Jasper at the helm, the turnaround did not take long. In just her second season, Jasper had led the Lobos to a 17-8 overall record and a 6-2 mark in the MW during the regular season.
