MSUB’s Fry Loses in Consolation Quarterfinals at Montana (Oct. 12, 2003)

MISSOULA, MT – MSU Billings women’s tennis player Becky Fry (Jr., Miles City, MT) lost in the consolation quarterfinals of the University of Montana Fall Invitational that ended late Sunday.  Fry lost in straight sets to Idaho’s Tara Fielding (6-0, 6-2), who went on to advance to the finals.  Fielding will face Idaho’s Kareen Konishi in the final.  Because of the late ending, the two will square off against each other once they return to Idaho.

Fry and the Yellowjackets’ Jose Garcia advanced the furthest in the singles draw.  Garcia made it to the main draw quarterfinals where he lost to third-seeded Stan Nevolovich from Montana.  Nevolovich lost in the semifinals to second-seeded Brad Lum-Tucker of Idaho.

The Lady Yellowjackets will play at MSU-Bozeman next weekend with the Bobcats and Whitman College expected to be in attendance.  Both Yellowjacket teams will wrap up the fall schedule with a Halloween weekend meet at Idaho State University on October 31 and November 1.  Idaho State, Weber State and Utah State are the expected opponents.
