SAN DIEGO - 2011 SDSU Fall Classic I Brackets Through Day One
The San Diego State women's tennis team officially opened the 2011-12 season on Friday as it played host to the SDSU Fall Classic I at Aztec Tennis Center.
In doubles action, San Diego State's two nationally ranked teams opened the new campaign with victories. No. 47 Julia Wais and Alicia Aguilar moved on in the bracket as a result of a walk-over in their match-up with Loyola Marymount's Jin/Parravi. No. 59 Roxanne Ellison and Sierra Ellison, meanwhile, were 8-4 winners over Sylvain and Pinero of New Mexico State.
Aguilar made it a perfect day after she recorded a win in the black draw of the singles bracket. The junior won in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2, in her tilt with Amber Walker of Cal State Northridge. Wais followed Aguilar's lead later in the day as she downed New Mexico State's Manon Sylvain, 6-2, 7-6(4), in the blue bracket.
In the silver draw, Emma Cioffi and Roxanne Ellison were both victorious as they won in two sets. Cioffi dismissed Loyola Marymount's Miya Jin, 6-2, 7-5, while Ellison posted the 6-3, 7-6, win over Ros-Polly Nguyen of New Mexico State.
In her first action as an Aztec, Kristin Buth picked up a victory in singles. The freshman, who is competing in the red draw, easily downed Ginet Pinero of New Mexico State, 6-4, 6-2. Laura Antonana-Iriarte also won her red draw match, beating BJ McCrary of Cal State Northridge, 6-1, 7-5.
Day two of the SDSU Fall Classic I is set for Saturday at 9 a.m. PT at Aztec Tennis Center. Doubles will start the day off and be followed by singles action.
