SAN DIEGO – San Diego State women’s tennis wrapped up its annual Aztec Fall Invitational on Sunday after three days of competition. Vesa Gjinaj won her singles flight after tallying three victories over the weekend, taking down Stanford’s Sein Myoung in the final.

Gjinaj claimed a tough three set victory, taking an early lead with a 6-4 win in the first set against Myoung, who rallied for a 6-1 win in the second set. It was a battle to the end, but Gjinaj ultimately came out on top in a 7-6 (7-1) decision.

Teja Tirunelveli and Vessa Turley also competed on Sunday, but came up short in their matchups. Facing USD’s Maria Shmakova, Tirunelveli fell 7-5, 6-1, while Turley retired her match against Dylan Voeks out of Colorado State.

Next up, Turley and Tea Lukic will head to Athens, Ga. for the NCAA Doubles Championships, beginning Nov. 17.
