Women's Tennis Plays Through Busy Second Day at ITA Regionals
/ October 15, 2009
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – After all three NAU doubles teams fell
in the round of 32 to begin play on Thursday, two doubles pairs
rebounded with consolation victories on the second day of the
Wilson/ITA Division-I Women's Mountain Regional in Las
Vegas.
Juniors Aimee Oki and Edit Suhajda dropped an 8-4 decision to open
play on Thursday but bounced back with an 8-1 consolation doubles
victory over Sophie Dang and Rilee Moorhead of Idaho State. Also
advancing in the doubles consolation bracket was the NAU pair of
junior Orsi Golovics and freshman Malia Wahinepio in an 8-6 win
over Weber State's Greyce Farias and Keya Jenkins.
Golovics was the only Lumberjack to play Thursday in the singles
main draw, but she dropped a 6-3, 6-1 decision to BYU's
Kristina Doerr. In singles consolation play, junior Yumi Hasegawa
defeated Andrea Dela Torre of Montana State, 6-1, 6-3, but later
fell to Denver's Christin Thompson, 6-1, 6-3. Freshman Nicole
Perez advanced after her first opponent of the day withdrew but was
later eliminated from consolation play.
Golovics will be the only Lumberjack to continue playing in singles
on Friday, competing in the consolation bracket at 10:30 a.m. The
remaining pair of doubles teams will play on Friday at 3 p.m.
