LA JOLLA, Calif. – Long Beach State Women's Tennis continued to have a strong run in singles on Sunday, sending two to the semifinals and seeing sophomore Pamela Badillo win two matches to advance to Sunday's main draw championship match.
Badillo opened the day with a dominant third set in a 6-4, 4-6, 6-0 win over Martina Markov of Cal State Fullerton, while Cecilia Costa defeated the tournament's second seed, Shachf Lieberman of UC Santa Barbara, 6-4, 2-6, 7-5.
Playing a second match in the day, both sophomores would compete in the semifinals. Badillo defeated Candela Aparisi of Cal Poly in straight sets, winning a first set tiebreaker on the way to a 7-6, 6-3 win, while Cecilia Costa fell after a wild second-set tiebreaker against Makeilah Nepomuceno of Hawai'i, 6-4, 7-6 (9).
Long Beach State had five singles players compete in additional matches, with four playing in various consolation flights. Paulina Franco was an easy winner over Haily Huynh of UC Irvine, 6-4, 6-2, while Thea Jagare also won in straight sets over UC Santa Barbara's Carla Pacot. Daisy Carpenter and Johanna Hiesmair both lost in their singles matches, while Daria Malaescu was a 6-2, 7-6 winner over Kamya Nair of UC San Diego in an arranged match.
Long Beach State had one doubles match Saturday, as Diana De Simone and Thea Jagare competed in the quarterfinals of the main draw but fell 8-6 to Raphaelle Leroux and My-Anh Holmes of UC Santa Barbara.
