Monica Milewski started the fall by going 7-0 in singles and winning two main-draw singles titles in the first two invitationals on the schedule.

Senior Monica Milewski won the main singles draw at the season-opening CU Invitational, defeating senior teammate Melisa Esposito in the finals. Meanwhile, Esposito and a third CU senior, Camila Belassi, captured the doubles title.

Milewski (65), Esposito (61) and Belassi (55) entered the season with a combined 181 singles victories.

“Those three have the opportunity to do a lot of great things this year,” coach Nicole Kenneally says. “If everyone stays healthy, the opportunity is there for the three seniors to leave their mark.”
