Arizona Takes Down No. 42 Denver in Close Match

TUCSON, Ariz. – For the second time this season, the Arizona women's tennis team has defeated a ranked team as they took down No. 42 Denver by a score of 4-3 on Saturday afternoon. The last time Arizona beat two ranked teams in one season was during the 2014 campaign.
 
"I am proud of the team," head coach Ryan Stotland said. "We have been the underdogs in almost every match we have played this year and we definitely were in this one. This team is really building something special here. This was a great win for our program and gives us a chance to make the NCAAs. I love the team's toughness they displayed in the match and they never gave up, that's what we're all about. We have one more chance to defend our home against Oregon and we look forward to continuing our win streak here at home in front of our great fans."
 
The Wildcats did well to win the doubles point as Marie Van Aelst and Talya Zandberg won on court three 6-3 while Emma Wilson and Sophia Thomas clinched the doubles point with a 6-4 win on court one.
 
Zandberg, Van Aelst and Gitte Heynemans all won their singles matches to give the Wildcats the victory on the day. Zandberg won 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 on court three, Van Aelst won in straight sets 6-3, 6-2 on court two while Heynemans needed three sets to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 on court six.
 
Next up for the Wildcats will be Oregon on Friday, April 12 at 10 a.m. MST.
