GLENDALE, Wis. \u2013 To close out the 50th anniversary of the Milwaukee Tennis Classic, the Colorado Buffaloes tennis team dominated on the final day, earning a pair of victories over Wisconsin to cap the three-day tournament.<\/p>\n
Colorado picked up wins in both doubles and singles action, with returning Buffs Lera Alexin<\/a> and Ema Bubalo<\/a> teaming for a 6-2 doubles victory over the Badger’s Karolina Jacobson, a Colorado native, and Gabriela Skrabalova.\u00a0<\/p>\n Of the four Buffs who made the trip to the Badger State, Louise Ternstroem<\/a>, CU’s first-year player making her CU debut, was the sole CU player to compete in singles play on Sunday. She battled to a three-set win over Jacobson.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I thought our group made some good progress this weekend,” CU head coach Anthony Pham<\/a> said. “We played a ton of matches, competed well, and are showing strong maturity in how we handle adversity”<\/p>\n HOW IT HAPPENED<\/p>\n After totaling six doubles matches and 15 singles matches played the previous two days, a much lighter day for the Buffs opened Sunday at 9 a.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n Alexin and Bubalo struck first against Jacobson and Skrabalova, taking the opening game of the match. WU leveled the score 1-1 before the Buffs’ duo took three straight games. Trailing 4-1, the Badgers cut the deficit to 4-2, but the Buffaloes responded by taking the final two games to secure the 6-2 victory.\u00a0<\/p>\n With doubles play ending in Colorado’s favor, Ternstroem carried the momentum into singles, taking the opening set 6-3. Jacobson answered with a 7-6 win in the second set to even the match before Ternstroem prevailed in the deciding tiebreaker to secure the victory.\u00a0<\/p>\n UP NEXT<\/p>\n Colorado will return home to practice this week in preparation for the Bedford Cup, Sept. 25-27 at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.\u00a0<\/p>\n “We are excited to get back to practice, to prepare for the Bedford Cup in a couple of weeks,” Pham said.<\/p>\n RESULTS<\/p>\n Doubles
