The Bulldogs Will Resume Competition in the Spring
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The Gonzaga women's tennis team closed out play in the Jolene Watanabe Classic, hosted by UNLV, Sunday afternoon. The Zags carried their strong performance in singles matches from Saturday into the third and final day of competition, earning four wins on the day.
The Bulldogs participated in only one doubles match during the day, played by Angelina Hug and Aisulu Zholbolat against UNLV's Eszter Kis-Czako and Stela Dzimovic. The match was intensely close and required a tiebreak, which UNLV ultimately won, giving them the victory, 7-6(7).
In singles play, Sia Cariov and Kelsey Phillips defeated their Utah State and UNLV opponents, respectively, in commanding straight-set matches. Luana De Freitas Avelar also picked up a two-set win against Grand Canyon's Zuzana Kudlackova, 6-4, 7-6(5). After dropping her first set against Sofiia Sokolvak (UNLV), Angelina Hug came storming back to take the next two, 6-1 and 6-3. Sveva Zerpelloni and Aisulu Zholbolat both played long matches against UNLV and Utah State opponents, but Zerpelloni fell in the match tiebreak while Zholbolat lost in the third set.
Up Next: The completion of the UNLV Classic marks the end of the fall season for the women's tennis team. Competition will resume in the spring, and the Schedule page will be updated as events are announced.
