Buffs Battle in Two Tournaments
September 21, 2023 | Tennis
SAN DIEGO, and SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – The first day of fall competition for the Colorado Buffaloes Tennis team did not go as expected losing all six matches between the Battle in the Bay and the UTSA Intercollegiate Championships.
Action started first for the Buffs with doubles in the Battle of the Bay for senior Aya El Sayed and junior Mila Stanojevic as they took on San Francisco's Katerina Filip and Erin Richardson 8-5.
After the early loss freshman Pia Rebec was starting her first match in a Buffs uniform taking on Isabelle Lee from USC in the first round. After dropping the first set 6-3 Rebec fought back in the second set pushing Lee to the limits before falling 7-5.Â
In San Diego Betina Tokac and Elys Ventura took the court next for their first matches of the season after having a bye in the first round. Ventura battled against San Diego's own Filippa Bruu-Syversen, but also fell 6-1, 6-4. Tokac would face another Trojan from USC in Sloane Morra. In a back and forth two sets Morra came out on top 6-4, 7-5 to advance. Doubles play will begin tomorrow in San Diego.
To close out the day we went back up the coast for singles action where both Stanojevic and El Sayed faced off against Cowgirls from Oklahoma State. Stanojevic was first up against Lucia Peyre, but got behind early and couldn't come back losing 6-2, 6-1. In the last match of the day for the Buffs El Sayed competed against Ange Oby Kajuru. After losing the first set 6-3, El Sayed got off to a fast start leading the second set 3-2, but could not hold on. Kajuru won the final four games to clinch the match.
