Bulldogs at a glance:
The Bulldogs head into this weekend after facing two Top 20 opponents last week during the ITA Kick-Off Weekend, in No. 9 Duke and then-No. 20 LSU. Despite being outscored 8-1 in the two matches, junior Emma Wilson picked up two of the biggest wins of her career. In singles play, Wilson topped No. 47-ranked Elyse Lavender of LSU, 6-3, 6-2, in the consolation match. A day earlier, Wilson teamed with sophomore Georgia Wilson at the No. 1 doubles spot and cruised to a 6-2 defeat of the No. 1 doubles team in the country in Samantha Harris and Kelly Chen.
Looking at the opponents:
Washington enters Friday's match after making their way back from the Durham, North Carolina as well. The Huskies did not face the Bulldogs in the Durham bracket after upsetting LSU 4-3 in their opening match. The win moved Washington into the Top 25 this week as the team sits at No. 24, just ahead of the Tigers. Day two in Durham saw UW drop a close 4-2 dual match to Duke. No. 6-ranked Stacey Fung clinched the match with a three-set win over No. 47 Lavender. A day later against No. 7 Samantha Harris she led in the third set before the match was stopped. UW claimed both doubles points on the weekend and finished 5-1 in doubles and 4-7 in singles.
Denver is coming off of a 1-1 weekend in Atlanta, Georgia where they were competing in the Georgia Tech bracket of the ITA Kick-Off. The Pioneers defeated Dartmouth 4-3 in its first match before falling 4-1 to No. 7 Georgia Tech. Denver earned all of its points in singles play on the weekend, led by its No. 1 player Julia O'Loughlin. The No. 65-ranked player in the nation picked up wins over two ranked opponents, knocking off No. 78 Kristina Mathis of Dartmouth, 6-0, 3-6, 6-4, and upsetting No. 49 Paige Hourigan of Georgia Tech, 6-4, 6-3.
Next Up:
Fresno State returns home next weekend for three matches. The Bulldogs host Cal Poly on Saturday at 10 a.m. PT at Spalding G. Wathen Tennis Center. The following day will feature a doubleheader at Wathen Tennis Center with the 'Dogs facing Saint Mary's at 10 a.m. and Santa Clara at 3 p.m.
