CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts – The No. 43-ranked University of Denver women's tennis team (11-2) earned its second 4-3 win of the weekend, topping Boston in a match hosted by Harvard on Sunday.
 
DU also won 4-3 over No. 67 Harvard on Saturday in the weekend's first match.
 
Doubles:
Boston took a 1-0 lead after winning the doubles point with matching 6-4 wins in No. 1 and No. 3 doubles. DU's No. 2 team of sophomore Andrea Burguete Beltran and freshman Claudia Martinez de Velasco kept BU from sweeping the doubles matches, posting a 7-5 victory for Denver.
 
Singles:
The first three singles matches to finish all went to Denver, putting the Pioneers on the brink of a win. Freshman Louise Wikander lost just two games – one in each set – in No. 4 singles, giving Denver its first point of the day.
 
Burguete Beltran's second win of the day came in No. 2 singles. Like Wikander, she started with a 6-1 win in the first set before closing it out 6-4 in the second. Senior Britt Pursell then won 6-3 6-4 in her No. 3 singles match to move Denver within one point of victory.
 
Boston won a three-set battle in No. 1 singles to bring the team totals to 3-2 when Martinez de Velasco clinched the win for DU. After winning the first set, 6-2, but dropping the second set in a tiebreak, she responded with a bagel in the final frame.
 
Fellow freshman Caroline Driscoll was able to complete her singles match on court 5, forcing a third set after losing the first set, though Boston would claim the win in a tiebreak, 7-6(5).
 
Up Next:
No. 43 Denver heads to Texas for two matches against ranked opponents in No. 40 Baylor on March 21 and No. 59 SMU on March 23 before returning to Summit League play at Western Illinois on March 25.
