Iowa State Falls to No. 53 Colorado in Big 12 Play

BOULDER, Colo. ? The Iowa State tennis team fell to 53rd-ranked Colorado 6-1 Friday. The Cyclones are now 10-11 overall this season and 1-9 in the Big 12.

In singles play, Cyclone sophomore, Erin Karonis defeated Buffalo Melisa Esposito, 7-5, 6-2. With the win, Karonis improved to 14-5 in singles action this season.

Iowa State freshmen Maria Fernanda Macedo and Marie-Christine Chartier recorded a doubles win over Colorado's Franziska Jendrian and Ania Anuszkiewicz, 8-5, at the No. 2 slot.

“We completed very well,” said Iowa State head coach Armando Espinosa. “They wanted it more than we did in a few matches, and we could not capitalize in the few opportunities that we had.”

Iowa State will travel next to Columbia, Mo., to wrap up the regular season against Missouri on Sunday at 2 p.m.
