CSU Tennis falls to Nevada to start the conference game – the Rocky Mountain Collegian

In the first regular conference game of the season, Colorado State Tennis achieved a 4-0 defeat against Nevada Freitag. Despite the loss, the team's strongest mating in doubles shone.

But when the RAMs continue in the season, they are at the point where they have to start finding their foot.

“It was a hard match today,” said coach Mai-Ly Tran. “At the moment we have just focused on this match. And obviously we have another conference game on Sunday, but we took part. … we just have to learn from this match and concentrate on the next. “

The match began with two double games – Sarah Weekley and Victoria Erechtchenko in Court One, while Diana Lizarazo and Viktoryia Zhadzinskaya performed two in court. The latter started their facility 4: 2, but lost. The former couple secured a decisive victory.

Weekley and Erechtchenko won their double set 6-0 and marked the fourth victory in a row. The duo endeavors to the rest of the season and wants to become one of the chief scorers in the team.

“I think we are also improving,” said Weekley. “We stay near the baseline, we are aggressive. But it only makes one or two more balls and only puts our margins in the pitch and just performs better. “

Zhadzinskaya won her first set in the singles and wanted to win her third at that time, but the game was won by Unr. The wolf package was able to tear the rams before they had the chance to defend themselves.

However, this was not the only bump.

The RAMs already suffered many setbacks this season. Due to injuries, it is more difficult to find the victory for this team than it should be. With so few players, the team lacks the depth to overcome minor losses that should otherwise make it untouched.

“To be honest, there is no magical solution for these things.” Noechtchenko said. “We will just continue to practice being aggressive. It is always better to be the one who dictates the point than the one who is passive and only hopes that the opponent will lose. “

The Rams go deeper into the conference game and hope to turn the season around. By showing one and outside the dishes and outside the dishes, additional efforts are required to compensate for what is missing in the team.

In recent years, Trans' Rams have been a strong team. This team has to hit expectations from previous years despite the circumstances if they want to turn the season around and show what CSU has to offer in the conference game.

“I think you do a great job if you don't really use the (injury) as an excuse,” said Tran. “They focus on what we have and appear. I think they were really positive and kept together, and I think we will be able to get back on Sunday. “

The CSU will take place in New Mexico on Sunday and plans to use the hard loss against red as learning experience. With the match against the Lobos, the CSU hopes to create a dynamic in the conference game and the rest of the season.
