SAN DIEGO - The San Diego State women's team successfully wrapped up play at the first installment of the SDSU Fall Tennis Classic on Sunday at Aztec Tennis Center. Julia Trunk and Julia Wais led the Scarlet and Black as they won in doubles and went on to record victories in singles.
In doubles, the aforementioned duo defeated San Diego's Laura Claus and Marite Raygada in convincing fashion, 8-3. San Diego State's super sophomore combo of Roxanne and Sierra Ellison also made quick work of their competition as they downed Cal State Northridge's Nina Jaworowski-Whitney Paluch, 8-2.
After a short break following doubles, singles action took center stage and Trunk and Wais did not disappoint. Trunk posted a 6-3, ret., victory over Arizona's Sarah Landsman, while Wais won in straight sets, 6-0, 6-3, to defeat Northridge's Ryma Korab. Sierra Ellison was a double winner on the day as well as she beat Ariane Masschelein of Arizona, 6-3, 6-3.
Naseem Eslami emerged with a positive result after beating Paluch, 7-5, 6-4, while Olivia Colman had a short day and won her match, 4-0, ret., over USD's Lise Marbach.
