Buffs take the doubles point and three of the four singles matches completed
FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Colorado State dropped the doubles point to Colorado and then the visitors took three of the next four singles matches for a 4-1 victory Saturday afternoon at the Fort Collins Country Club tennis facility. With the loss, the Rams fell to 7-5 on the season while the Buffaloes improved to 8-7 on the year.
"We got off to a slow start, but the positive from today is we fought back," head coach Jarod Camerota said. "We showed a lot of fight and resilience when we could have just gone away. It's disappointing to lose and we definitely want to beat a rival team. But the Mountain West regular season and championship are still our main goals."
The two squads split the first two completed doubles matches as CU won at No. 2 with Emily Luetschwager and Priscilla Palermo combining for a 6-2 victory at No. 3. The point came down to No. 1 doubles, with Colorado getting a late break for a 6-4 win and the first tally of the match.
CU got out to a 3-0 lead in the dual with straight-set victories at No. 1 and No. 3 singles. Stella Cliffe rallied after dropping the first set for a 5-7, 6-3, 3-1 (inj. Default) victory at No. 2. The Buffaloes then finished out the match with a straight-set victory at No. 4, as the match was played until a winner was determined.
NEXT UP
The Rams will head back on the road for their spring break trip to San Diego, Calif., playing Yale on Wednesday at 11 a.m. MT before taking on San Diego State in a conference match on Thursday at 3 p.m. MT.
