DENVER – The University of Denver women's tennis team posted its second-straight sweep to open the 2024 dual match season, topping Colorado State, 4-0, on Sunday at Denver Tennis Park.
 
Sunday's win was DU's second sweep in as many days over an in-state foe after topping Air Force, 5-0, on Saturday.
 
Doubles:
Denver won the doubles point off matching 6-2 wins from two teams of sophomores: No. 2 team Caroline Driscoll and Louise Wikander, and No. 3 team Claudia Martinez de Velasco and Alice Otis. Driscoll/Wikander won both of their matches on the weekend while Martinez de Velasco/Otis captured their first win as a team after leaving their match unfinished on Saturday against Air Force – though they held a 5-3 lead.
 
Singles:
Martinez de Velasco posted the first singles victory of the day, dropping just three games on Court 3. Wikander and Driscoll followed shortly, each dropping six or fewer games and both matching Martinez de Velasco in collecting a 6-2 set along the way. In No. 2 singles, junior Andrea Burguete Beltran held a set and a break lead when the match was decided in Denver's favor. Graduate student Britt Pursell, who moved to No. 1 singles after debuting at No. 2 singles on Saturday, had just pushed her match to a third set while Otis was up 1-0 in her third set on Court 5.
 
Up Next:
The University of Denver women's tennis team heads east for the 2024 ITA Kickoff Weekend in Durham, North Carolina, on January 26-27. The weekend will began with a match against Auburn on Friday, January 26, at 6:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. MT.
