Buffs Fall Short In Upset Bid Of #34 Arizona State
March 11, 2018 | Tennis
BOULDER – Colorado's upset bid of 34th-ranked Arizona State fell short in the third set of the final singles match as the Buffs fell to the Sun Devils, 4-3. After Colorado (8-3 overall, 1-1 in the Pac-12) took an early 2-0 lead, Arizona State (9-3 overall, 2-0 in the Pac-12) rattled off three straight singles wins to go up 3-2. After tying the match at 3-3, CU could not complete the comeback in the clinching singles match on court No. 6.
"We battled really hard on Friday and we battled really hard today," said head coach Nicole Kenneally. "I think it's about keeping perspective that we came out here and performed. Obviously, it would have been great to get a win today. We put ourselves in good position today. We just need to keep putting ourselves in position and then keep having that belief that we're going to step up in those moments and take it when we have our opportunities."
Colorado picked up the doubles point early on with wins from the pairings of sophomore Chloe Hule and junior Brigitte Beck as well as juniors Jeannez Daniel and Ilana Oleynik. Daniel and Oleynik made quick work of the Sun Devils' No. 37-ranked pairing of Sasa Klancecek and Savannah Slaysman in a 6-1 win on court No. 3. Hule and Beck remain undefeated this season in doubles (9-0) after breezing to a 6-1 win in the No. 1 doubles match over ASU's Nicole Fossa-Huergo and Tereza Kolarova, clinching the doubles point.
The Buffaloes have won the doubles point in nine of 11 matches this season.
In singles play, CU was led by Hule and senior Kyra Wojcik. Hule took down Arizona State's Ilze Hattingh on court No. 2, while Wojcik picked up the win over Klancecek, 6-1, 0-6, 6-2 in the No. 5 doubles match.
However, the match was clinched on court No. 6 for the Sun Devils with Oleynik falling to the Sun Devils' Tereza Kolarova, 5-7, 6-1, 6-3.
"We gave it all that we had, and we competed hard, but we have to turn around and do it again on Tuesday," said Kenneally.
Colorado will host the Rice Owls on Tuesday, March 13 with first serve set for 12:00 p.m.
