Denver Women’s Tennis Sweeps Singles at Husky Invite Day 2

DU goes six-for-six in singles, adds two doubles wins on Saturday

SEATTLE – The University of Denver women's tennis team won eight of its nine total matches on the second day of the Husky Invitational, hosted by the University of Washington, on Saturday.
 
DU opened the day with two wins in three doubles matches – with the only loss coming in a tiebreak. Both of Denver's doubles victories came with 6-4 scorelines: one from senior Andrea Burguete Beltran and junior Marley Lambert against their opponents from Washington¸ and the other from freshman Natálie Cinková and junior Claudia Martinez de Velasco against a team from Iowa.
 
All six Pioneers won their singles matches, five in straight sets and four after dropping three games or fewer. Cinková followed up a 6-2 win in the first set with a bagel, and Lambert and junior Louise Wikander nabbed two 6-1 sets apiece. Burguete Beltran took her first set in a bagel and sealed the win with a 6-3 second set.
 
Junior Hana Bečirovič Novak battled to a win in an extended first-set tiebreak before securing the win in straight sets. Martinez de Velasco gave Denver the clean sweep in three sets, dropping the second before closing out the final frame, 6-2.
 
The Husky Invitational concludes on Sunday, October 6, with doubles at 12 p.m. PT/1 p.m. MT, followed by singles beginning at 1 p.m. PT/2 p.m. MT.
