TEMPE, Ariz. (Day 1) -- The Arizona State women's tennis team got off on the right foot on day one of the 21st Annual ASU Thunderbird tournament on Friday. 

Seniors Desirae Krawczyk and Stephanie Vlad both advanced to the quarterfinals, but on very different paths.

Krawczyk blazed through both of her matches, winning 6-0, 6-0 against Cal's Audrey Mayer before finishing up far before anyone else with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over NAU's Marta Lewandowska. 

Vlad on the other hand had a much more trying afternoon, winning in straight sets over Fresno State's Rana Sherif Ahmed before a long fought match against the No. 4 seed. Cal's Karla Popovic and Vlad battled through all three sets before Vlad finished the third set with a 6-3 victory for the upset.

Ebony Panoho didn't want to be the only senior left out of the party, as she cruised through her two matches 6-0, 6-2 and 6-0, 6-1 to join her fellow seniors in the quarterfinals. She'll take on Vlad in a Sun Devil senior battle on Saturday at 9:30 a.m.

On the other end of the seniority totem pole, freshman Sammi Hampton took on Cal's Lyann Hoang for three sets and ended up needing a tiebreaker to decide the match. Hampton lost the first set 0-6 before bouncing back with a 6-2 victory. The final set finished 7-5(5). THe freshman would go on to win her match in the consolation bracket over Minnesota's Mehvish Safdar 7-5, 6-3. 

Juniors Gussie O'Sullivan and Kassidy Jump both won their first matches in the morning before losing hard fought matches in the round of 16. They'll continue their play on Saturday in the consolation bracket. 

Day two continues on Saturday with doubles at 8:30 a.m. followed by the singles bracket play at 9:30 a.m. Krawczyk will take on Texas' Neda Koprcina on court 1.
