The Colorado College women's tennis team captured the No. 2 singles and doubles matches on Saturday, but the Tigers fell to Colorado Mesa University, 6-1, at the Elliott Tennis Center.
 
Freshmen Keelie Bennett and Elizabeth Girian dominated the No. 2 doubles match and downed Issy Coman and Halle Romero, 6-2. The Mavericks, however, won the other two doubles matches to take an early 1-0 lead.
 
Fellow freshman Magdalene Gonzales won the No. 2 singles match for CC, defeating Carolena Campos, 7-6(6), 6-3. Another freshman, Katherine Beard, playing her first career match for the Tigers, took Kira Coffee to the brink at the No. 6 spot before falling, 3-6, 7-6(4), 1-0(8).
