LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The University of Minnesota women's tennis team ended the ITA Kick-Off weekend with a 4-0 win over the Gonzaga Bulldogs at the Los Angeles Tennis Center. This marks their second win of the regular season.
Singles started off the night due to weather. Play would move onto doubles if both teams ended in a 3-3 draw during singles play.
Dalila Said got the Gophers on the board early on. She downed Haruna Tsuruta in straight sets 6-1, 6-0. Following behind was junior River Hart, who got the point over Maria Frampton 6-2, 6-0. Ekin Ercetin earned the third point over Vlada Medvedcova 6-4, 6-2.
The final game to claim the win for the Gophers would come from senior Tina Kreinis. In a tight battle, she defeated Cate Broerman in the No. 1 singles spot 7-5, 6-3, coming back from a 2-5 deficit early on.
NOTABLE
This marks the second win of the season with notable wins from Dalila Said, River Hart, Ekin Ercetin, and Tina Kreinis.
QUOTABLE
"Today was an all around team effort against a tough Gonzaga team," head coach Catrina Thompson said. "Dalila, River, and Ekin were able to get on the board quickly and Tina, Tiffany, and Cammy all fought back in their matches with Tina clinching for us after being down 2-5 in the first set. Very proud of the way the girls finished the weekend."
"We all played great as a team," redshirt freshman Dalila Said said. "Everyone had a good attitude from the start and I'm so happy that we got the win our final day."
UP NEXT
The Gophers will be home on Feb. 1, 2020 with two duals against the University of North Dakota and the University of Northern Iowa.
