October 21, 2005 | Tennis
Both CU student-athletes are rolling along in their respective singles brackets against fellow players from their central region. Vanderdys made it four consecutive matches with a win defeating Irina Lykina (Oklahoma) 6-3, 6-3 in the quarterfinals, then, followed that with a three-set winner over Iryna Tkachenko (Oklahoma State) 4-6, 6-2, 6-4.
With her two victories on Friday, Vanderdys has won 60 career singles matches, becoming the 18th CU woman to win that many in a career.
Milewski is also on a consecutive winning streak, notching her fifth straight and ninth this fall with a pair of victories on Friday. The Park Ridge, Ill. native defeated Anne Anderson (Colorado State) 7-5, 6-3, then took care of business in three sets over Gabby Baker (Oklahoma) 6-2, 4-6, 6-1.
Vanderdys and Milewski each have won a team-best nine matches in 11 outings this fall.
In Saturday's quarterfinal morning matches, Vanderdys plays Anastasia Surkova (BYU), while Milewski takes on Tamara Kvaratshelia (Kansas State).

Nurmi reached the Round of 16 defeating Katla Kudluckova (Kansas State) earlier in the day 4-6, 6-1, 7-6. The Finland native is 9-4 this fall and has won six of her last seven matches.
