The Division II Colorado Mesa women's tennis team posted a 7-2 victory over Colorado College Thursday afternoon in Colorado Springs.
 
The Mavericks (12-15) jumped out to a 2-1 lead after the doubles matches. CC won the No. 2 match, as junior Annie Zlevor and sophomore Caroline James captured an 8-6 victory over Taylor Hershey and Kylie Simons. The Tigers nearly had an advantage after the doubles, but junior Allie Burak and sophomore Jenna McDonald were edged by Emily Beckley and Rebecca Osterberg, 9-7, at the No. 1 position.   
 
McDonald was the only Tiger to collect a singles victory by defeating Osterberg, 6-2, 6-2, at the No. 2 spot. James stretched Hershey to the limit at No. 3 before falling 6-1, 5-7, 1-0(4). Colorado Mesa won the other four matches in straight sets.
