Buffs Hit the Road for Two Top-10 Matches in California
March 21, 2024 | Tennis
BOULDER – The Colorado Buffaloes tennis team travels back out west California for two top-10 matchups. The Buffs will start with No. 10 California on Friday, March 22 followed by No. 4 Stanford on Saturday, March 23.
Colorado (12-3, 1-2) will look to bounce back from two losses last weekend against Washington and Washington State. Despite the two losses head coach Anthony
Pham is confident that his team will bounce back, "With this group, we know they're a tough group they are very resilient. So, I don't expect any other than for us to go out and compete hard and give ourselves the best chance to be successful. The weekend in Washington was tough, but I think we learned a lot. I think looking forward to California and Stanford, two outstanding programs and we're going to go out there and fight and compete."
Last weekend the Buffs were unable to capitalize on opportunities to finish games out which ultimately led to the losses that snapped the 11-match winning streak. After almost two months without a loss, Pham believes the team will learn and grow moving forward.
"When you win and have success, it can be hard to learn a lot," Pham said. "When you don't have success, I think that's when you can reevaluate things and that's when you learn things. I think for us, we had a lot of opportunities but just didn't capitalize. Some of them were us, some were because of our opponents, so you have to credit them as well. I think for us next time when we're in those moments, it's being a little bit clearer about what we want to do and hopefully have more success because of it."
For the Buffs to bounce back they will have to upset two of the best teams in the country, starting with No. 10 California (8-3, 2-0) on Friday. This will be the first match against the Golden Bears this season after facing off twice a year ago.
The all-time series is 9-1 in favor of California with the lone win coming at home in 2021.
The following day Colorado will take on No. 4 Stanford (12-1, 2-0) for the second time this season. The first time was at the ITA Kickoff on January 26. The Buffs won the doubles point for the first time in 14 tries against the Cardinal.
Pham and the Buffs are aware of the golden standard that Stanford has been in women's tennis for years, but they know that they need to go out and put their best foot forward.
"Stanford is Stanford, right," Pham said. "They're the gold standard in women's collegiate tennis and I think last time we were optimistic with the product we put out there. I know this time around Stanford is going to be ready. For us, we have to go out there with the same mentality. No matter who we play, we are going to do what we can focus on and hopefully try to get better."
In both of these matchups, the Buffs will look to get a win in possibly the last time playing each other before switching to the Big 12 for Colorado and the ACC for California and Stanford.
The match times will be dependent on the weather. Pay attention to our social media for updates for this weekend.
