LOS GATOS, Calif. - The Hawai'i women's tennis team opened its 2004 spring season with a 7-0 shutout of Western Athletic Conference foe, San Jose State, Thursday, at the Los Gatos Swim & Raquet Club.

The Rainbow Wahine (1-1) played its first match since a loss to Stanford, Nov. 28, at the Kapalua Resort. UH won all six singles matches, including junior Kimberly Curtis' 6-0, 6-0 shutout of Rachel Pua at the No. 6 court. In addition, Curtis partnered with sophomore Renata Camargo for an 8-2 doubles victory, which helped UH get on the scoreboard first by sweeping all three doubles contests for the early 1-0 lead.

Junior Justine Boutet and Camargo also captured their singles matches in straight sets as both won one of their games, 6-0. Junior Lauren Fitzgerald won her match at the No. 1 court after her opponent Ana Lukner, retired due to a back injury.

The Rainbow Wahine continue its road trip with a rematch against Stanford, Friday.
