COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.— Colorado Mesa University junior Kristen Kirby won all four of her matches on Friday as the Maverick women's tennis team dominated Colorado College 9-0 in the afternoon here at the Tigers' Burghardt Courts after falling 6-1 to NCAA Division II 32^nd-ranked Tarleton State University earlier in the day at Pueblo City Park.
 
The Friday split moved the Mavericks to 6-15 on the year.  The TSU TexAnns later swept CSU-Pueblo, 7-0 and are now 10-5 on the year while the CC Tigers fell to 1-14 on the year.
 
Against the Tigers, the Mavericks won every match, winning every single game in six of them.
 
Kirby and No. 1 doubles partner Emily Beckley also recorded a 6-0 set win in their respective singles matches against the Tigers after they teamed for a 6-3 win over Alicia Barbaroux and Neetika Sud in the morning match against Tarleton State.
 
Kirby then outlasted Barbaroux, 3-6, 7-5, 10-6 in the No. 1 singles match to record the Mavs' lone team point against TSU after the TexAnns had won two of the three doubles matches to take the early 1-0 lead.
 
The TexAnns then won four other singles matches in straight sets and got a win from Sud over Beckley in a match tie-breaker to complete the scoring.
 
Driving up I-25 for their later encounter, the Mavericks seized early momentum as the doubles tandems of Georgia Hansen and Maike Waldburger and Taylor Hershey and Kylie Simons both recorded 8-0 pro-set wins at No. 2 and 3 doubles against their Tiger opponents.  Beckley and Kirby then defeated Simone Hall and Annie Zlevor of CC in 8-2 pro-set match to give the Mavericks a 3-0 lead as every match was counted towards the team score, per Division III rules.
 
Playing in her hometown, Simons then took advantage of a rare opportunity to be in the team lineup in singles as well as she recorded one of the Mavs' three 6-0, 6-0 sweeps at No. 6 singles over Carter Norfleet.
 
Hansen and Hershey also scored victories by those same margins at No. 4 and 5 singles, respectively.
 
Meanwhile, Kirby scored a 6-0, 6-3 win over Tess Rubin at No. 1 singles to register her third straight singles victory and fifth total win over the last two days.  Beckley then delivered yet another team point CMU's way with a 7-5, 6-0 win over Annie Zlevor at No 2 singles before Rebecca Osterberg won 6-2, 6-2 over Hall at No. 3 singles.
 
Osterberg and Simons also paired for an 8-0 exhibition doubles match win over Norfleet and Emily Faulks.
 
The Mavericks have now completed the road portion of their 2018-19 schedule and will return home to the Elliott Tennis Center for their final four matches of the season, including two during the Apr. 26-27 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament.  They will begin the stretch next Friday (Apr. 19) taking on CSU-Pueblo after defeating the ThunderWolves, 6-1 last Saturday (Apr. 6) in Pueblo.
