The Beach finished off another solid weekend during its fall season, wrapping up play at the ITA Southwest Regionals in San Diego. LBSU picked up three more singles wins on Saturday as Emma Bardet’s impressive run in the singles draw came to an end in the quarterfinal round.
SAN DIEGO – The Beach concluded play at the ITA Southwest Regionals on Saturday, picking up three more singles wins before heading back home to Long Beach.
Emma Bardet's run through the singles draw came to a close in the quarterfinals, as No. 9 seed Anastasia Iamachkine was the first player to take a set off Bardet after she started the weekend 4-0, including a win over a nationally-ranked opponent.
The rest of LBSU's contingent earned victories in extra matches, however, as Natalia Munoz won 6-2, 4-0 with her opponent retiring from the match at that point. Wiktoria Rutkowska and Zara Lennon each took down a player from UC Irvine, winning in straight sets to close the weekend on a strong note.
"We had some ups and downs this weekend but we worked our way through them and learned a lot," said head coach Jenny Hilt-Costello. "I'm very proud of Emma's performance. She has the game to be a top college player and she showed that this weekend."
LBSU has just one event left this calendar year, taking part in the CSUN Fall Tournament Nov. 8-10. The Beach will then conclude its preseason slate with the Beach Tennis Winter Invite Jan. 17-19 at Rhodes Tennis Center.
