Las Vegas, Nev. -
The 19th ranked Arizona State Sun Devils Women's Tennis Team finished
off the second day of play at the Freeman Memorial Tennis
Championships hosted by UNLV in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Sun Devils finished strong winning five matches in total between
singles and doubles, with one Sun Devil pair moving into the doubles
finals. The pairing of Sianna Simmons and Hannah James defeated Anett
Ferenczi-Bako and Rumyana Terzieva of the hometown UNLV Runnin' Rebels
8-1 to move into the finals.
Michelle Brycki and Joanna Smith competed just as well defeating
Patricia Skowronski and Sofia Hager of the University of Oregon 8-4 in
the consolation quarterfinals.
"I am really happy with our play today. We started off well in doubles
winning two of the three matches and we continued the momentum into
the singles," said Sun Devils head coach Sheila McInerney.
ASU faired just as well in singles play with Senior Michelle Brycki
defeating Mary Clayton of Duke, 1-6, 6-4, 1-0 (10-5). "Michelle had a
close loss yesterday and came back today and was very determined and
fought hard to win a three set match," said McInerney
Sianna Simmons also added a win to the list by taking down Valeria
Pulido of USC, 6-4, 2-6, 7-6. Joanna Smith also defeated Ella
Bourchier of UNLV, 6-3, 6-3.
"Sianna had a nice win in the singles winning a tough three setter
against a very good player. She hung in there and battled really
well," said McInerney. "All in all we were resilent and extremely
focused. It will be important for us to end strong tomorrow as we go
into team play next weekend."
