BOULDER – Colorado women's tennis won its first match of the season here Sunday after defeating Gonzaga 5-2.
The Buffaloes (1-3) took the first four points and clinched the match before Gonzaga (2-3) was able to pick up a point.
Caroline Pozo and Maria Campos led the way for Colorado with a double point clinching win and a pair of singles victories. The duo took down Cate Broerman and Adrianna Sosnowska 6-4 in the No.1 doubles match after Betina Tokac and Ellen Puzak picked up the win in the No.3 doubles match. Unfortunately, the No.2 doubles duo of Ky Ecton and Mila Stanojevic lost 7-5 just seconds before the No.1 team clinched the point.
Moving to singles, Pozo defeated Broerman in the No.1 singles match with a pair of 6-3 sets after Campos made easy work of Federikke Svarre 6-1, 6-2.
The match-clinching point came from Stanojevic in the No.2 singles match. The freshman picked up her 12th-straight win after trading 6-2 sets with Sosnowska. The pair battled to 5-5 in the third set before Stanojevic captured the next two games to win 7-5.
With the match decided, Gonzaga made up some ground with wins in the No.4 and No.5 singles matches. Tokac fell in the first set 6-1, then was up 5-1 in the second before Jenna Sloan stormed back to take a 6-5 lead. Tokac forced a tiebreaker where she had another 5-1 lead but ended up falling 9-7. Ecton fell in the No.5 match to Kianna Oda 6-4, 6-3.
The final match of the day had Puzak against Aitken. Puzak won the first 6-4 then fell in the second 6-3. She burst out to a quick 8-3 lead in the third set tiebreak, ultimately winning 10-4.
The Buffaloes head to Portland next weekend to take on Portland State and the University of Portland.
QUOTES
Head Coach Anthony Pham
On The Win
It's good for the team. Like I said yesterday, we feel like we are making some good progress. It's nice for the team, for them to win a match and have that progress be validated in a more tangible way. From yesterday when we played Baylor to today I thought the team got better with really good energy. Obviously, we've been dealing with some adversity. Hopefully we can keep building going on this.
On Maria and Caroline
I'm glad that they won, but once again, we're happy wherever we can get four points from. Today we got five so at the end the day wherever we can get four from, we're happy. Nice job by Caroline and Maria, and Mila who is a freshmen, clinching the match for the first time. It was good environment. It was tough, Gonzaga's a good team. Happy with the result and excited to get ready for next week.

QUOTES
Head Coach Anthony Pham
On The Ranked Win
I'm happy for the ladies. We had a tough start to the year, we played three ranked teams and were competitive but couldn't push through and I feel like we're starting to kind of hit our stride. It's good to see the team push through today because it was a complete total team effort.
On Having The Team Healthy
At the end of the day, we're trying to find four points. We have nine members on the team and we feel confident each and every one of them can go out and play. But it was nice to have Maria and Megan back healthy. We feel that we have a lot of depth on the team and today, it helped.
On What Win Means For Pac-12 Play
I think it just continues to give us some belief. Iowa was a good team. For us, the focus is on us doing the right things over and over and getting into good habits. It gives us some validity to what we're doing.

The Buffs (6-10, 0-6 Pac-12) picked up their first doubles point in eight matches to topple Wyoming (6-7) from the start.
The doubles point was closely fought throughout, but in the end No.2 doubles team Ky Ecton and Mila Stanojevic took down Sophie Zehender and Ana Fernandez 7-5 and No.3 doubles team Betina Tokac and Ellen Puzak clinched it with a 7-5 win against Mihaela Kaftanova and Lucia Malinak. Maria Campos and Caroline Pozo were in a tiebreak set at 6-6 when the doubles point was clinched.
With the first point in hand, the top three Buffs went to work. Stanojevic won the first set against Fernandez in the No.3 singles match 7(4)-6 while Forster and Balzert dropped their first sets in the No.2 and No.1 singles matches, respectfully.
Heading into the second sets, Balzert and Forster rallied back to tie up the matches, while Stanojevic fell in the second in her match against Fernandez. With all three matches heading to a third set, Forster was the first to complete the comeback, defeating Maria Oreshkina 2-6, 6-3, 6-2. Stanojevic picked up the next match with a 7(4)-6, 4-6, 6-4 win over Fernandez.
The final match of the day came down to Balzert against Zehender in the No.1 singles match. After trading sets, Balzert won a toughly fought tiebreaker, taking the third set with an 11-9 win in the tiebreak for a final score of 1-6, 6-4, 7(9)-6.
The remaining matches went unfinished with Betina Tokac down 6-4, 6-7(2), 5-3 to Malinak in the No.4 singles match and Ecton just beginning her match against Ida Krause with a score of 2-1.
The Buffaloes have an 11-day break before hosting Oregon on April 3. That match will begin at 11 a.m. if it is outdoors and at 10 a.m. if it is moved to the Rocky Mountain Tennis Center.

BOULDER – The University of Colorado women's tennis team hosts No.36-ranked Oregon Sunday at 11 a.m. at the CU South Campus Tennis Complex but will move the match indoors to the Rocky Mountain Tennis Center at 10 a.m. if weather becomes a factor.
The Buffaloes (6-10, 0-6 Pac-12) are coming off a sweep against Wyoming in Laramie and hope to ride that momentum into the first conference win of the season. The last time the Ducks were in Boulder, Colorado picked up the first sweep against a Pac-12 opponent in CU history.
...
The Buffs will host a small alumni event Friday after practice and then host an alumni reunion during Sunday's match.
SCOUTING THE DUCKS
No.36 Oregon comes to Boulder with an 11-5 overall record and 3-3 record in Pac-12 play. The Ducks have mostly played at home with a 9-1 record including winning three-straight against No.25 Arizona State 4-3, Washington State 5-2 and No.20 Washington 4-0. Oregon will face BYU and Utah before coming to Boulder.
Karin Young leads the Ducks with a 13-1 record this spring on a 12-match win streak. The team is 54-30 in singles matches this spring and 24-13 in doubles.

(As the article states, Oregon was scheduled to play BYU and Utah before heading to Boulder. Looking at their schedule, looks like the Ducks won both, both by TIGHT 4-3 scores.)

BOULDER – The Colorado women's tennis team hosts the last three home matches of the season this week, starting with Wednesday's match against No.65 Denver that has been moved to 11 a.m. in the Rocky Mountain Tennis Center.
The Buffaloes (6-11, 0-7 Pac-12) made the time change against Denver due to forecasted high wind speed. The team is coming off a 4-1 loss to No.36 Oregon.
Colorado starts a streak of five-straight ranked opponents with No.65 Denver before facing No.30 Arizona State on Friday, No.44 Arizona on Sunday and then closing out the season at No.46 Utah. The team has a dozen ranked matches on the schedule and successfully upset No.71 Iowa at home at the end of February.
The team continues to be led by freshman Mila Stanojevic with a 10-6 singles record this spring. Directly behind her is fellow freshman Betina Tokac with six wins, followed by Megan Forster and Antonia Balzert with five. Colorado has won just less than 40 percent of its singles matches this dual season.
In doubles, the Buffs fought admirably against Oregon with Caroline Pozo and Maria Campos falling 7-5 in the No.1 doubles match and Ky Ecton and Stanojevic leading 6-5 in the No.2 doubles match before the point was clinched. Tokac and Ellen Puzak have the best dual record at 4-4 as the team has a .250 winning percentage in doubles match this spring.
Both Friday and Sunday's matches look favorably with weather and will try to be contested outdoors at the CU South Campus Tennis Complex. Friday's match is scheduled for 1 p.m., followed by an 11 a.m. start for senior day Sunday.
The Buffs will celebrate three departing seniors on Sunday, Megan Forster, Ky Ecton and Caroline Pozo.
