This weekend, the Pioneer men’s tennis team won games against the Air Force Academy and Brigham Young University to make for a perfect weekend. After going 1-1 in last weekend’s matches against Middle Tennessee State and Ohio State, the Pioneers came back this weekend winning both matches convincingly.
Friday’s game pitted Colorado opponents Air Force against DU at the Denver Country Club. Denver won the match 7-0, shutting the Falcons out. The Pioneers moved up to No. 54 in the nation after the win.
The Pios turned right around Saturday winning a 5-2 match against the No. 49 ranked Brigham Young Cougars. Though sophomore Henry Craig (86th ranked player in the nation) and freshman Alex Gasson lost singles matches, both won their doubles matches.
The Pioneers are now 3-1 on the season. The team will face No. 60 University of Nebraska on Saturday and will travel to the University Nebraska Omaha on Sunday in their first conference match of the season.
