11/6/2004 12:00:00 AM | Tennis
The Maroon and Gold opened the day with a 0-2 showing in its doubles dual against Washington State. UM's duos of Nischela Reddy and Ida Malmberg, and Marina Bugaenco and Danielle Mousseau each lost their matches with 8-5 scores. The Golden Gophers were later swept in three doubles matches against Virginia Tech.
In Minnesota's lone singles dual of the day, the Maroon and Gold went 1-5 against Wake Forest. Sophomore Ida Malmberg picked up UM's only win, defeating Danielle Schwartz, 6 -2, 6-1 at No. 3. Only one other match went to three sets. At No. 5, Wake Forest's Jenna Loeb downed Danielle Mousseau, 6-4, 2-6, (10-7).
The Invitational features eight of the top women's teams in the nation - North Carolina, Duke, Miami, Minnesota, Wake Forest, Washington State, Winthrop and Virginia Tech. It will be a hidden-dual format with each match being a dual between two teams, competing either in singles or doubles. However, no team scores will be kept. Instead, all results will be kept per individual and will contribute to the players' Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) rankings for the 2004-05 season.
The tournament is in honor of Kitty Harrison, a former head coach of North Carolina's women's tennis team. Harrison coached from 1977 to her retirement in 1998.
