SAN DIEGO, Calif. – No. 6 seed Colorado State gave host and No. 3 seed San Diego State a run but eventually fell 4-2 in the Mountain West Championship quarterfinals Thursday afternoon. The Rams conclude the 2018-19 season with an 11-10 overall record, the first winning record since 2005.
The Aztecs took the doubles point with wins at the No. 1 and 2 slots. San Diego State then took a 2-0 lead with a win at No. 3 singles, but Priscilla Palermo closed the game with a 6-2, 6-2 victory at No. 4. A win at No. 1 made it a 3-1 match overall, but again, the Rams rallied as Emily Kolbow pulled out a three-set victory at No. 5 singles. However, it wasn't to be as SDSU got a three-set victory at No. 2 to close out the match and advance to tomorrow's semifinals.
