LINCOLN, Neb. – The Colorado State women's tennis team and the Nebraska Cornhuskers first met in 1996, the Rams losing their inaugural match 5-2. In every year and matchup since, the Huskers prevailed. Until Friday. The Rams made history, solidly beating the Huskers 7-0 on the road.

CSU has snapped the program's two longest losing streaks in back-to-back years. In 2021-22, the Rams defeated Colorado and now hold a 1-33 overall historical record. Tonight, Sarah Weekley's win at No. 1 singles helped end the 0-25 losing streak against the Huskers.

"I was impressed how each player focused on their job today and executed their game plan so well," head coach Mai-Ly Tran said. "We kept things simple and stayed the course even through tough moments."

The doubles action was strong, starting off the victorious run as Zara Lennon and Ky Ecton won 6-3 at the No. 2 spot. Viktoryia Zhadzinskaya and Sarka Richterova won at No 3, 6-4.

The singles action was where the win was solidified, ending with 10-point final sets. Weekley defeated Nebraska's Zamburek with two 6-3 decisions, her first win at the top spot. Buzkova beat Gallego 6-4, 6-4 at No. 2, Dush won against Danilchenko 6-2, 6-4 in the third spot and Richterova sailed to the first win with a 6-3, 6-0 victory at No. 5.

Lennon pulled through with 3-6, 6-2, 1-0 (10-8) at No. 4, and Luana Avelar won at No. 6 with scores of 7-6 (8-6), and then her foe retired down 3-2.

"This team beat a talented Nebraska team and it's a great feeling to see their hard work pay off," Tran said. "This is a journey, and we will continue to improve, our focus will be to enjoy this moment and get ready for another battle tomorrow.

"I'm so proud of this Ramily."

The Rams will face South Dakota Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Sid and Hazel Dillon Tennis Center.
