The Vandals dispatched Montana and Montana State 7-0 as Idaho increased its winning streak to eight games.

"Winning these two matches against strong teams will help us continue our momentum and improve our national ranking," Idaho Director of Tennis Jeff Beaman said. "The development of this program is really starting to show."

Idaho breezed past Montana in the first game of its Saturday doubleheader as the team dominated the Grizzles.

"Montana is a tough team and we played great to come out get the win against them," Beaman said. "It was our first match at elevation and the team showed no problems with it."

Montana State had defeated Idaho in the three previous encounters but the Vandals were too strong on Saturday. The Vandals once again swept all six singles, not dropping a set against Montana State.

"It was a really big step for the team to be able to beat a Montana State team 7-0 after losing to them three years in a row," Beaman said. "This was another important step for the program."

Idaho is idle until March 25 when it takes on conference foe and in-state rival Boise State.
