NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas –  The No. 17 Aggies saw their eight match winning streak come to an end on Sunday at the hands of No. 12 St. Mary's, 5-1, in a top-20 showdown at the John Newcombe Tennis Ranch. 

Sunday's match had an important implication for both teams with the Rattlers sitting at No. 1 in last week's NCAA South Central Regional ranking and the Aggies at No. 2.   A CU win would have gave them a solid argument to leap to the top of the regional poll.  

Instead with the loss, the Aggies will fall to 16-3 overall and St. Mary's holding the same record.  

In doubles, the Aggies took the top-spot with Alina Gorina and Zhenia Shviadok winning 8-6 over the regions No. 1 ranked doubles pairing.   However, CU would drop their other two doubles slots.  

Cameron never could recover in singles and they dropped their two, four, and six slots to allow StMU to clinch the win.   When play was suspended, No. 19 Paula Gutierrez was edging No. 44 Jamie Lee Denton 6-2, 0-6, 2-1 in the top-singles slot. 

The Aggies will close out their regular season with three matches in Lawton starting on April 21 with UA-Fort Smith.
