The Kansas tennis team wrapped up play this weekend at the ITA Central Region Championships in Tulsa, Okla.
The doubles tandem of senior Elizaveta Avdeeva and junior Edina Horvath fell in the quarterfinals to Oklahoma duo Chelsea Orr and Ana Constantinesc, 8-2. Avdeeva and Horvath were the No. 2 seed for the tournament and looked to repeat as champions after taking the doubles title at last year’s event. The duo was able to win two matches but could not advance past the 12th-seeded Oklahoma duo in the quarterfinals.
Sophomore Kunigunda Dorn and freshman Maria Martinez also notched a doubles victory against Oral Roberts’ Emily Arkel and Taylor Pippen. They could not advance any further, dropping their next match against the No. 4-seeded duo from BYU.
In singles play, Avdeeva won her first match against Boise State’s Klaudia Wlodarczyk on Friday to advance to the field of 32, but dropped her next match to Oklahoma’s Chelsea Orr in the following round. Dorn, who along with Avdeeva had already qualified for the main draw, was eliminated in the first round by Tulsa’s Thalia Barriga, 6-2, 6-1.
Svistun, who won two matches on Wednesday to qualify for the main draw, lost her opening-round match to BYU’s Liza Ezhova, 6-4, 7-6.
The Kansas tennis team will continue play Nov. 2-4 when it travels to Tallahassee, Fla., for the Seminole Invitational.
