Adrianna Sosnowska earned a hard-fought three-set win to advance to the Flight One Singles championship match and highlight the Northern Arizona women's tennis team's day two action at the UNLV Fall Invitational. Sosnowska was one of three 'Jacks to pick up a singles victory on Saturday.
Facing UNLV's En-Pei Huang on the Rebels' home court at the Fertitta Tennis Complex, Sosnowska did not back down, even after dropping the first set. Instead, Sosnowska battled back for a 6-7, 6-4, 6-2 victory and will face another Rebel, Izumi Asano, on Sunday for the Flight One title.
