BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo women's tennis team scored a 7-0 whitewashing of visiting St. Francis (PA) to open the home portion of the 2006-07 campaign on Saturday at the University Tennis Center. The Bulls are 1-0 in dual competition while the Red Flash are now 1-7 overall.

UB opened with a clean sweep of the doubles matches allowing just two games in the three matches. Highlighting the doubles play was Miglena Nenova (Rousse, Bulgaria/Eurointellect) tying the UB record for career doubles victories with the 59th of her four-year career. She teamed with freshman Denise Harijanto (Jakarta, Indonesia) for the 8-0 win over Abigail Ball and Eva Keresztes. Nenova tied former player and current assistant coach Kristen Ortman (2002-06) on the doubles win list. She and Harijanto lead the Bulls with an 8-3 mark as a duo this season.

Nenova celebrated her 21st birthday on Saturday by downing Roxy Ionescu, 6-0, 6-1, at number one, to lead the singles sweep for the Bulls. UB won all 10 singles contests with the top six counting in the scoring and the remainder played as exhibitions.

Five Bulls picked up 6-0, 6-0 "double-bagel" wins on Saturday. Natalie Dean (Feilding, New Zealand/Palmerston North), at number three, Harijanto, at number four, Tina Jacob (Singapore/Raffles JC), at number five, Smaranda Stan (Stantu Gheorge, Romania/Economic), at number six and Katrin Fischer (Ternitz, Austria/Borg), in the top exhibition match, did not allow game to their Red Flash opponents.

The Bulls are at the Cornell Mock Duals in Ithaca next weekend.
