Minnesota Crookston falls to SMSU and Minnesota State at home

The Minnesota Crookston women's tennis team made its home debut Sunday with a pair of matches at Choice Health and Fitness in Grand Forks, N.D.
The Golden Eagles fell to Southwest Minnesota State, 7-0, in Sunday morning's matchup. They lost to Minnesota State, 7-0, in the afternoon match.
UMC (0-5) took eight games against the Mustangs and 11 against the Mavericks, a marked improvement from its previous matches. The Golden Eagles didn't take a single game at Bemidji State in their season opener, and took a combined six games last weekend against Minnesota State Moorhead and the University of Mary.
Tasha Achermann (Fr.), who played at No. 1 singles and doubles in both matches, challenged Minnesota State's Tyanna Washa in the first set of a 6-3, 6-1 defeat. Ashley Chomyn (Sr.) took games in both sets against Kierstin Hall at No. 3 singles.
Against Southwest Minnesota State, Gabriela Pinto fell to Kennedy Torgerson 6-3, 6-0 at No. 6 singles.
