ALBUQUERQUE – The New Mexico State women's tennis team concluded play at the UNM Halloween Howl on Sunday on the campus of the University of New Mexico.
 
Sunday's competition consisted of just doubles play for all six teams as NM State went 1-1 against the Cyclones from Iowa State. Lindsay Harlas and Harsha Challa were faced stiff competition from ISU's Annabella Bonadonna and Maty Cancini and fell 6-0 before Neus Torregrosa and Yadira Rubio ousted Karen Alvarez and Regina Espindola 6-4 in first match-up of the morning.
 
The second doubles match against Illinois State saw the duo of Harlas and Challa battle back-and-forth with Laura Fitzgerald and Jana Kustkova before falling 7-6. Torregrosa and Rubio at one point tied things up at 4-4 but weren't able to get over the hump and lost 6-4 to Tara Damnjanovic and Natalia Bravo.
 
New Mexico State now returns home for a short breather before heading off to the Pacific Northwest for the Gonzaga Invitational, Nov. 2-4, to wrap up its fall slate.
