KEEP ON, KEEPIN' ON
New Mexico State looks to build on its success last weekend in Phoenix as they host WNMU and UTPB this weekend. The Aggies opened last week with a sweep of Mesa Community College before grinding out a pair of tightly-contested matches against UTRGV and Grand Canyon, 4-3.
 
GCU was tied with NM State to finish first in the pre-season coaches poll before freshman Eli Arnaudova sealed the win for New Mexico State against the 'Lopes.
 
KAUR POWER
Sophomore Rimpledeep Kaur was named the Western Athletic Conference Player of the Week after dominating her opponents over the weekend. The Jassowal, India, native went 3-0 in singles play and 2-1 in doubles action. In her two WAC matches, Kaur gave up just two points and blanked her counterpart from Grand Canyon in singles. Her lone loss came in doubles action against GCU's No. 2 doubles tandem, 6-4.
 
Kaur has now won five of her last six singles matches and two of her last three doubles contests. The sophomore is also pacing NM State in dual play with a 6-3 mark in singles.
