Memphis, Tenn. - The University of Denver women's tennis team defeated the University of Memphis 4-2 today at the Racquet Club of Memphis in Memphis, Tenn.

Sophomore Julia O'Loughlin (Highland Beach, Fla.) and freshman Bianca Mok (Boise, Idaho) both won their singles and double matches today to pick up important points for the team. Senior Charlotte Derbyshire (Stockton, England) also showed a dominant performance in today's contest by competing hard all the way through to the last match.

"I am proud of the entire team on their focus and competitive fight today in singles and doubles," head coach Christian Thompson said. "But, our senior captain Charlotte Derbyshire, really came through for us today. She is one of the hardest working players on our team and it was only fitting she was able to clinch the match for us in singles."
