BOULDER – The University of Colorado women's tennis team will open Pac-12 competition this weekend hosting No.7-ranked Washington Friday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. and No.28 Washington State Sunday at 10 a.m. in the Rocky Mountain Tennis Center.
Â
The Buffaloes (6-6) last competed two weeks ago against South Dakota and Boise State. CU picked up its sixth win of the season against South Dakota by a score of 5-2, then were narrowly defeated by Boise State 4-3. Colorado did not compete last weekend after playing 12 matches in a four-week span.
Â
Monica Malinen continues to lead Colorado with a 16-6 record in singles play, including a 10-2 record in duals. She is 6-0 this season in the No.4 singles matches. Megan Forster is right behind her with a 14-7 record and a 9-3 dual record. Forster is 6-0 in No.3 singles matches this season.
Â
In doubles matches CU is led by Ky Ecton and Annabelle Andrinopoulos with a 3-1 record. Forster and Sara Nayar are 4-4 this season in No.2 doubles matches.
Â
Washington made a large jump from No.22 to No.7 last week after defeating then No.7-ranked Kansas. The Huskies are 10-1 this season with their only loss coming to then-ranked No.2 Vanderbilt. Stacey Fung leads the team as the 69th-ranked player in the nation. Her teammate Vanessa Wong is ranked 112th. Fung and Nika Zupancic also are ranked in the doubles rankings as the 43rd-best pair in the nation.
Â
Washington State is led by Michaela Bayerlova, the 38th-ranked player in the nation. Hikaru Sato and Tiffany Mylonas have moved into the 71st position in the nation after not being ranked the week before. The Cougars are 13-2 this season with losses to Stanford and Gonzaga.
Â
Following the Pac-12 opener the Buffaloes will play their final non-conference match at Colorado State on March 16th. Colorado returns home March 29 against Oregon.
