, and freshman Charlie Yemm each won their first spring match of the season.  DePaolo, at the No. 5 position, defeated Jordan Revielle in straight sets 6-3, 6-2; at the No. 4 singles, Quibell posted a close 4-6, 6-0, 6-3 victory over Andrey Vasilieu; Rofel posted a strong showing in first match at No. 6 singles with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Stefan Revielle; and Yemm, playing in his first spring match of his collegiate career at No. 3, defeated Almed Sejati 6-3, 6-0. 

 

Elsewhere in singles play, Marcos Digliodo won his 25th match of his career and first win at No. 1 singles with a narrow 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory over Matt Rychlik.  Junior Marko Bundalo saw his first action at No. 2 singles this spring and triumphed 6-1, 6-2 over Teemu Syrjaren. 

 

“We wanted to give them (DePaolo, Quibell, Rofel, and Yemm) an opportunity to play, and they are an important part of the team,” said head coach Sam Winterbotham tonight.  “I’m very pleased.  I think we came through very well and (our team) worked very hard.”

           

In doubles, the Buffs won all three matches against the Orediggers as two new pairs for Colorado saw action.  The duo of DePaolo/Yemm won their first overall match 8-2, while Bjork/Quibell also won their first match as a pair 8-1.  The No. 33 duo of Digliodo and Chad Tsuda also were victorious, 8-4 over the Mines’ duo of Rychlik/Syrjaren.
