UCI: The women’s tennis team defeated Nevada 4-3 on Sat. and lost 4-3 Wyoming on Feb. 13.

After five straight conference losses threatened to torpedo the entire season for UCI, it was great to see some inspired play against a strong UC Santa Barbara team. The 66-63 win without star forward Eric Wise showed what this year’s Anteaters are all about — playing hard, playing small and above all, playing gritty.

VICTORY: With the Feb. 12 win against UCSB, the Anteaters halted a five-game losing streak.

BOSTON: Senior Tanya Taylor is the first UCI women’s soccer player to be professionally drafted.

OUTLOOK: The Anteaters will likely struggle in comparison to the past’s untested pitching staff.

HITTERS: Head Coach Mike Gillespie has released his team’s tentative lineup for the 2011 season.

PITCHERS: The Anteaters will call upon three untested right handers for their starting rotation.
