CU Tandem Ranked in ITA Doubles Ranking

BOULDER – The University of Colorado women's tennis team has its first ranked doubles team of the Steinberg era, the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) announced Tuesday morning.

Senior Annabelle Andrinopoulos and junior Monica Malinen are the 35^th-ranked duo according to the ITA after being unranked all season long. They are the second-largest jump from unranked to ranked this week after defeating the former No.2-ranked ASU duo two weeks ago.

It has been more than seven years since the Buffs last had a doubles pair ranked nationally with the last pairing ranked 55^th in the nation in 2012. Andrinopoulos and Malinen become just the 14^th CU pair to earn the honor of a ranking and become the 21^st and 22^nd women in school history to be ranked in doubles.

The two upper classmen have finished just six matches together, winning four of those matches. They also have three unfinished matches that all ended with a 4-4 score, including one against a ranked duo from Washington State.

CU begins the final stretch of the Pac-12 conference schedule with a trip to Los Angeles this weekend to take on No.8 UCLA and No.11 USC.
