Buffs Earn Narrow, 4-3, Win Over Colorado State
January 20, 2018 | Tennis
After winning the doubles point, the Buffs lost the first two singles points that included an injury to junior Annabelle Andrinopoulos that forced her to retire from the match.
CU recovered from the 1-2 deficit to win three of the final four singles matches to take home the victory.
Junior Brigitte Beck clinched the final match of the afternoon with a three-set win over CSU's Emma Corwin, 2-6, 7-6, 6-1.
The Buffs took the doubles point with wins from the pairings of senior Louise Ronaldson and junior Jeannez Daniel over CSU's Alyssa Grijalva and Priscilla Palermo, 6-3, as well as Beck and sophomore Chloe Hule over CSU's Emily Kolbow and Emma Corwin, 6-3.
Two of CU's singles wins came in straight-sets as freshman Linda Huang defeated CSU's Emily Lueschwager, 7-6, 7-6, and junior Ilana Oleynik took down CSU's Solen Crawley, 6-1, 6-0.
The Buffs remain undefeated against the Rams with Saturday's win being the 33rd all-time.
Next weekend, the women's tennis team travels to Greeley to take on Northern Colorado on Saturday, Jan. 27 at 1 p.m.
QUOTABLE (Head Coach Nicole Kenneally)
"Obviously it is a disappointment for Belle to go down. But, all hats off to Colorado State they played great. For us, we didn't play where we expected to. So we have an opportunity in our next match next Saturday. So we need five straight days of practice and we will continue to fight the good fight and we are set to go."
"Brigitte's comeback win was great. Sometimes I think we make it a little more difficult on ourselves then we have to. But it was great that she found the finish."
