May 04, 2016 | Tennis
SAN FRANCISCO – Colorado tennis player Nuria Ormeño Ruiz was named honorable mention all-Pac-12 on Wednesday in the conference's postseason awards voted by the coaches. It is the first conference award she has earned in her career.
A junior from Barcelona, Spain, Ormeño Ruiz led CU to one of its best seasons in recent history. She posted a 23-13 overall singles record, including 7-7 at the No. 1 singles position after moving into that spot halfway through the season. She also went 12-13 in doubles play, with a team-best six wins at the No. 1 doubles spot. Her 23 singles wins ranked 25th in Buffaloes single-season history.
It was a season to remember for Ormeño Ruiz as she became the first Colorado player ever to qualify for the National Indoor Championships after winning the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Mountain Region championship during the fall season. She led CU to a 4-3 win over Arizona on March 13 when she upset 27th-ranked Lauren Marker in three sets. Overall, she had two match-clinching singles wins and four doubles-clinching wins. In singles competition, Ormeño Ruiz led CU in wins, No. 1-position wins, tournament wins (11), Pac-12 wins (4) and dual-match wins (12).
For her career, she enters her senior campaign 22nd in CU history in singles wins (61), 19th in winning percentage (.629) and 31st in combined singles and doubles wins (100).
Colorado finished the season with seven wins overall and its best finish since joining the Pac-12.
