TEMPE – The No. 36 Sun Devils women's tennis team (12-7, 5-3 Pac-12) came out hot and never let off the gas against Pac-12 foe Colorado (8-11, 2-7 Pac-12) on senior day Saturday, winning in dominant fashion. The Sun Devils honored current seniors Lauryn John-Baptiste, Ilze Hattingh, Tereza Kolarova, Sasa Klanecek, and Sammi Hampton while also bringing back 2020 graduate Savannah Slaysman. ASU won 4-0 over the Buffaloes to end the home portion of the regular season 9-2 at Whiteman Tennis Center.
"I'm really happy for our seniors," head coach Sheila McInerney said. "Great senior weekend with two Pac-12 shutouts. Our seniors have been through a lot these past two years and we are very proud of them and thankful for their dedication to ASU and our women's tennis program. We are excited for our rivalry match next weekend down in Tucson."
