Wiecha turned in the best performance for the Gophers as she advanced to her flight semifinals after winning her first three matches. She fell 6-2, 7-6 (2) to No. 1 seed Deborah Armstrong of Long Beach State in the semifinals.
Wiecha and partner Pintusava also played well in doubles. The duo lost their first round match to the No. 4 seed on Friday, but rebounded to win their next two matches and advance to their consolation flight final against Arizona's Deborah Casey and Sarah Landsman. The Arizona duo prevailed 8-6 in the final on Sunday.
Ferrazzi was the only other Gopher to compete on Sunday. The All-Big Ten selection and team MVP last season won her lone match of the day 6-1, 5-7, 1-0 (5) against Klaud Malenovska of Long Beach State.
The women's tennis team returns to action Oct. 8-10 at the Wildcat Invitation in Evanston, Ill.
