February 06, 2020 | Tennis
BOULDER – The University of Colorado women's tennis team heads to Texas for a pair of matches against Houston Friday at 12 p.m. MT and against SMU Sunday at 10 a.m.
The Buffaloes (5-1) first head to Houston (1-2) to take on the Cougars who are coming off a close 4-3 loss to Texas A&M Corpus Christi after taking down McNeese in a sweep. The team's only other loss is to Texas A&M in a 6-1 affair. Sunday's match looks to be a tough one in Dallas with SMU (3-0) undefeated this season with a 6-1 defeat of Abilene Christian and a pair of sweeps last Saturday against Colorado State and McNeese. The Mustangs take on New Mexico and Sam Houston State in a double header Friday before facing Colorado.
Colorado has been led by a trio of freshmen, Antonia Balzert, Sophia Derivan and Maria Campos. The three have a combined individual dual record of 15-2 led by Derivan's undefeated record of 6-0 with matches in every position except No.1 and No.6. Balzert is 5-1 and is coming off her first No.1 singles victory while she is 4-1 in the No.2 position. Campos is 4-1 in the No.3 and No.4 singles matches.
Also for Colorado, Monica Malinen is 3-1 in No.1 singles matches this season while Sara Nayar has been out recovering.
The doubles teams have been a work-in-progress as Colorado has cycled through 13 different pair including nine in dual matches. Campos leads all individuals with an undefeated record of 5-0 in duals and a 9-2 overall record. Derivan and Ky Ecton are 2-0 as a pair while Derivan is 3-1 as in doubles and Ecton is 4-1 in dual matches.
Colorado is seeking its first 6-1 start since the 2014-15 season where the team had an 8-1 start before beginning Pac-12 play.
