LA JOLLA, Calif. – Sophomore Pamela Badillo finished off an incredible run in singles to start the season, going 6-0 at the Big West Fall Tournament to win the 64-player main draw as Beach Tennis opened the 2025-26 season.
Badillo faced Makeilah Nepomuceno of Hawai'i, winning the first set and then closing out the victory over the sophomore 6-4, 1-6, 7-5.
The championship match victory capped off a very strong tournament for Badillo, who won all six of her matches in the main draw as all 10 teams in the Big West participated in the tournament, hosted by UC San Diego this season.
The Beach had three other consolation singles matches on Sunday. Paulina Franco was a straight sets winner over Cal Poly's Olivia Mlouk, 6-3, 6-4, while Thea Jagare and Diana De Simone dropped their final matches of the tournament.
