In singles competition, five out of six matches were decided in straight sets in favor of the Pioneers. Senior Louise Wikander recorded two 6-1 wins for Denver’s first singles point. Freshman Yunfei Cai followed with a 6-2, 6-1 win at No. 5 singles, maintaining control throughout both sets.
Marley Lambert secured the clinching point at No. 2 singles by coming from behind in both sets to win in straight sets. Natálie Cinková added another point with a two-set victory at No. 4 singles after taking key breaks late in each set.
Freshman Ruby Hansen rallied from losing her first set and trailing in the second to force a third set tiebreaker before her opponent retired due to injury.
Zoe Adkins played her first dual singles match as a Pioneer and won in straight sets after several traded breaks with her opponent.
The Pioneers will return to action on Sunday when they host Colorado at Denver Tennis Park.
