SAN DIEGO -
SINGLES | DOUBLES | CONSOLATION SINGLES
Both of San Diego State's nationally ranked doubles teams advanced in the main draw on Friday at the USTA/ITA Southwest Regional Championship at Barnes Tennis Center. With their victories, they move on to the round of 16, which is set for Saturday.
Fifth-seeded and No. 47 Alicia Aguilar and Julia Wais breezed to an 8-2 win over the Hawai'i duo of Rebecca Faltusz and Aglae Van den Bergh. Joining Aguilar and Wais in the next round is sixth-seeded and No. 59 Roxanne Ellison and Sierra Ellison, who defeated the Rainbow Wahine tandem of Kelsey Daguio and Martina Kostalova, 8-5.
In singles, the 15th-seeded Wais earned a hard-fought three-set decision in the round of 32. After experiencing little resistance in the round of 64, Wais found herself in a battle with Kaitlyn Ray of UCLA. In the end, the Aztec junior emerged with the 7-6(8), 4-6, 6-3 victory. In the next round, however, Wais fell to Ray's teammate in third-seeded and 45th-ranked Pamela Montez, 6-0, 7-5.
Additionally, Aguilar competed in the consolation singles draw and downed Hawai'i's Xenia Suworowa in the straight sets, 6-3, 6-2.
Third-day action continues Saturday at Barnes Tennis Center in nearby Point Loma.
