CHICAGO, Ill. –The New Mexico State women's tennis team continued its hot play on Saturday, picking up its seventh-straight win with a 5-2 dispatching of Chicago State at the H-F Racquet & Fitness Club.
 
The seven-straight wins for NM State (9-7, 4-0 WAC) is the longest win-streak in over a decade and longest since joining the Western Athletic Conference. The next closest win-streak since joining the WAC is six, dating back to the latter half of the 2013-14 season when the Aggies saw their six-match win-streak snapped by Idaho in the Western Athletic Championship match, 4-1.
 
New Mexico State quickly went up 1-0 at the end of doubles play, but not before being challenged by Chicago State (3-16, 0-4 WAC). The NM State No. 3 doubles team of Chloe Jolliff and Lindsay Harlas won their team-leading ninth win on Saturday, 6-4. Erika Castillo Lopez and Gabrielle Joyce then clinched the doubles point with a hard-fought 7-6 win at the top double position.
 
Ashvarya Shrivastav, playing at the No. 1 position in the absence of Rimpledeep Kaur, earned her fourth-straight singles victory with a 6-1, 6-1 beating of Hanna Pangestu. Jolliff then gave the Aggies a 3-0 lead shortly after with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Lorea Gamboa on court No. 2.
 
Soon after, freshman Eli Arnaudova clinched the win for NM State when she took down Bryttish Burts 6-1, 6-3 at singles No. 6.
 
Chicago State picked up a pair of wins at No. 4 and No. 5 singles, sandwiching Castillo Lopez's win at No. 3 singles, but the match was already decided in favor of the Crimson and White.
 
The Aggies look to finish the regular-season undefeated in WAC play on Sunday, April 3, when it squares off against Seattle U at 6:45 a.m. (MT).
