CSU-Pueblo
9, Colorado Christian 0
SILVER CITY, N.M. - CSU-Pueblo scored a 9-0 shutout of Colorado
Christian Friday, the team's final tune-up before the biggest
matches of the season vs. Western New Mexico Saturday and Metro
State Monday.
The ThunderWolves recorded its eighth win in its past ten
matches, improving to 5-1 in RMAC play with the win. Over its
past three RMAC matches, the ThunderWolves haven't surrendered more
than one individual match to its opponent. It's 9-0 win was
its second shutout victory in its past three RMAC matches.
CSU-Pueblo was nothing short of dominant, building on two
forfeit losses by the Cougars, a retirement win in favor of
Philipp Penkatzki
(Sr., Bottrop, Germany) at No. 1 singles, and cruising to
wins in the rest of the matches.
The ThunderWolves didn't surrender more than two games to
Colorado Christian singles players, and scored a pair of 8-3 wins
in the doubles matches.
The win sets the stage for the season's final two matches
against the top RMAC teams in the Pack's way for a conference
regular season title, Western New Mexico and Metro State.
Earlier this season, CSU-Pueblo lost to Western New Mexico 5-4
in its only RMAC loss of the season. Metro State is currently
leading the conference and is undefeated in conference play.
The ThunderWolves will try to unseat WNMU Saturday on the
Mustangs' home court in RMAC pod play at Silver City before heading
to Denver Monday to take on the Roadrunners in what could be a
defacto RMAC Regular Season Championship match.
