Members of the Kansas tennis team battled players from across the nation, Aug. 13-17 at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Championship held in Bloomington, Ind.
The singles’ portion saw senior Christine Skoda advance to the third round before losing to Courtney Vernon from University of Southern Florida 6-0, 6-0.
Despite the final match, coach Amy Hall-Holt said she saw strength in her singles player.
“Skoda played well in singles, you can tell she had been working hard this summer,” Hall-Holt said.
Because of NCAA regulations, coaches may not attend offseason tournaments. The coaches only saw the results and spoke to their players afterwards.
Skoda said she was pleased with her play. She practiced often this summer, but did not play many tournaments.
Sophomores Liza Avdeeva and Lauren Hommell each won a match before falling in the second round. Junior Brittany Brown lost her opening round match.
There were 54 players in the singles draw.
Both Kansas doubles teams advanced to the quarterfinals of the doubles tournament. After a first round bye, the team of Brown and Skoda defeated the doubles team from University of Western Michigan’s 8-3. Brown and Skoda lost their next round to Georgia Tech’s only duo 9-8(9).
Kansas’ other doubles team of Avdeeva and Hommell matched their teammates with a first-round bye, a second-round victory and a quarterfinal loss. The official season begins Sept. 7.
