Team wins six singles matches, both doubles sets
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A strong performance closed out the final day of the Halloween Howl Tournament, as Colorado State's women's tennis team won six of seven singles matches and both doubles matches played at the event held in Albuquerque.
Â
The Rams squared off with New Mexico State in singles play, winning five matches in straight sets and picking up another in three. Even the one loss went to a third set. The team faced Northern Arizona in doubles, with the teams of Somer Dalla-Bona and Sarka Richterova, and Radka Buzkova and Matea Mihaljevic posting matching 6-1 victories.
Â
While the event marked the end of the fall season for most of the team, the Rams' two doubles pairings who played today will continue on with the ITA Fall Nationals this week in San Diego, running Nov. 4-7.
Â
"It was a great way for the Rams to wrap up our final team event," head coach Mai-Ly Tran said. "The girls came out with great energy and took care of business. We overcame some challenges this tournament, and it was great preparation for our top doubles teams heading into Fall Nationals."
Â
The pair of Buzkova and Mihaljevic won all three of their doubles matches over the weekend, pushing their record to 15-1 this fall, including the ITA Mountain Regional championship. Dalla-Bona and Richterova were 2-1, putting them at 7-2.
Â
Over the weekend, Richterova, Dalla-Bona and Anastasiia Kotsyuba went 3-0 in singles play. Buzkova (10-4), Natal (6-1), Guo (6-3), Richterova (8-5) and Dalla-Bona (7-6), all finished the fall with winning records in singles play.
