BOULDER, Colo. - A sense of optimism is surrounding Colorado tennis coach Nicole Kenneally and her team as they head into Sunday's season opener against Air Force. The Buffaloes are coming off their first .500 season in six years and return four of their top five players from a year ago, while adding three impact newcomers. But the task of playing in the toughest conference in college tennis requires constant focus to compete with the best.
"I believe we've gotten better, but there are other teams in the Pac-12 that have improved as well," Kenneally said.
