Colorado Drops Match to No.8 UCLA
April 06, 2019 | Tennis
LOS ANGELES – The University of Colorado women's tennis team suffered a sweep against No.8-ranked UCLA this afternoon, falling to .500 overall this season.
Â
Colorado (10-10, 3-4 Pac-12) picked up a single set win in the No.2 singles match against the Bruins (14-5, 6-1 Pac-12). Monica Malinen took the first set against Ayan Broomfield, but the match was clinched before the second set could begin.
Â
UCLA began the match flexing its two doubles teams ranked in the top-12 in the nation. No.7-ranked Gabby Andrews and Ayan Broomfield swept No.35 Annabelle Andrinopoulos and Malinen 6-0 in the singles match to begin things. Megan Forster and Sara Nayar fell next with a 6-2 defeat against No.11 Elysia Bolton and Jada Hart in the No.2 doubles match to clinch the team point. Tallulah Farrow and Ky Ecton were down 5-2 when the point was decided against Taylor Johnson and Alaina Miller.
Â
CU fell down 2-0 when Johnson defeated Ecton in the No.6 singles match with consecutive 6-1 sets. UCLA took a 3-0 lead after Miller defeated Forster 6-3, 6-1 in the No.4 singles match, and the dual was clinched with No.21-ranked Bolton defeating Nayar 6-2, 6-1.
Â
Andrinopoulos had a close opening set with a 7-6(1) loss to No.98 Abi Altick in the No.3 singles match. Farrow dropped the first set to Andrews 6-3, but was in a 2-2 battle in the second when the match was decided.
Â
Colorado returns home next weekend with a match against Cal on Friday at 1:30 p.m., then host senior day against Stanford Sunday at 10 a.m.
