Colorado Finishes Fall Season in San Diego

BOULDER – The University of Colorado women's tennis team concludes the fall portion of the season this weekend in the San Diego State Invitational when action begins Friday.

The SDSU Fall Classic will feature Fresno State, Cal Poly, Utah, Stanford, Marquette and Eastern Washington in addition to host San Diego State. Action begins at 9 a.m. PT every day with doubles play, followed immediately by singles play.

Five Buffaloes will compete this weekend; Megan Forster, Monica Malinen, Brigitte Beck, Ky Ecton and Annabelle Andrinopoulos. Both Forster and Malinen have not competed since the ITA Regional Championships a month ago. Malinen was able to advance to the round of 16 in both singles and doubles play in the championships to lead CU.

The other three Colorado women; Beck, Ecton and Andrinopoulos, competed two weeks ago in the Barb Chandler Classic on the campus of Boise State University. Ecton led the way with a 2-1 record in singles play that weekend.

Malinen and Ecton lead Colorado with the best overall singles records through the fall season. Malinen is 5-3 in competition alone, winning 12-of-20 sets. Ecton is 4-2 with a 9-6 mark in sets.

Colorado has a 12-6 overall record in doubles match this season, led by Malinen and Vera Markovic's record of 5-2. Markovic will not be making the trip, leaving the next best record heading to San Diego in the hands of Beck and Forster. Individually, Ecton is perfect in doubles play with a 4-0 record.

The next time CU will be in action will be in the end of January in 2019. Colorado hosts its first home dual of the season against New Mexico January 30^th.
