The Buffs tennis team (7-4) kicks off the conference season Friday at noon when they travel to face Washington State (12-2). The Buffs are coming off of a 6-1 win vs Ball State, while WSU has won 10 of their last 11. This match will be live streamed from the Pac-12 networks and their should be live stats as well. I will try to provide some updates if I can, but I'll be at school so it may be difficult.

For anyone unfamiliar with college tennis scoring, it's a best of seven format. There's three doubles matches where they play to 8 and the team that wins 2 of 3 matches gets a point. The other 6 points are all from singles matches. Sometimes they play to whoever gets 4 first, other times they play out all of the matches even if the winner is already determined.

 

[cmgoods]

Looks like only 4 matches at a time. Buffs will need to win 4 singles matches to win.

Also, the 3rd set in college tennis is a tie break, but I'm not completely sure how it works. Either way, Steur is up 1-0 in the tie break on match 1.

A good start for Tenorio, but we'll need Tiefel to come back for a Buffs win.

[Buffnik]

How is it 3-2? I'm looking at 6 matches, with CU winning 2 and WSU winning 2. And then 2 close ones still being played.

WSU won the doubles point by winning 2 of 3 doubles matches. It's a point for each of the 6 singles, plus one for doubles.
