FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The Colorado State tennis team will remain at home this week to host its first two Mountain West opponents of the season. The Rams will face Utah State (Thursday, 3 p.m. MT) in their annual 'Orange Out' match. On Sunday, CSU will play Boise State (10 a.m. MT).
 "I don't think anyone really needs any 'rah-rah' speech to get ready for conference matches, I know they'll be ready for it," said head coach Jarod Camerota, and he believes it is important for the team to get off to a strong start.
The Rams (9-7, 0-1 MW) will be resuming conference play after visiting UNLV on Feb. 11.
CSU has played Utah State eight times in the all-time series, and a win over the Aggies would bring the series record to 5-4 in the Rams' favor.
The Aggies' overall record this season is 10-8, and Thursday's match in Fort Collins will be their first against a league opponent this year.
Utah State's Hannah Jones was named the Mountain West Women's Tennis Player of the Week for matches played through the March 13, while CSU freshman Emma Corwin was named the Mountain West Tennis Player of the Week late February.
Boise State also claims a Mountain West Women's Tennis Player of the Week. Freshman Wilhelmina Palmer earned her honors March 21. The Broncos share a record with CSU, also going 9-7, overall. Boise State has also played one in-conference match, with Air Force, where they won (5-2).
Broncos' head coach Beck Roghaar has been at the helm of the Boise State women's tennis program since 2010. He holds a six-year record of 72-63 in dual matches.
Boise State has bested CSU for 11 consecutive years, but the Rams hope to disrupt the losing trends against both teams.
"They're two solid teams and teams that are going to come out and fight," Camerota noted. "We are going to have to play good doubles; we are going to have to play smart with high percentage singles… I think the players are buying into what we have been preaching all year, about how to play doubles and it is paying off. As long as they keep doing that, with a little bit of luck, we'll be good to go."
Admission to CSU home tennis matches is free.Â
UP NEXT
After playing Utah State and Boise State, the Rams will play three in-conference teams out of the four remaining matches to close the regular season. Their next match will be against New Mexico in Albuquerque, N.M. on Friday, April 6 at 5 p.m. MT.
