With Valerie Brockman winning two matches in the Qualifying Draw on Thursday she joins 6 of her Shocker teammates in the main draw of 64 in the USTA/ITA Regional Championships in Tulsa this weekend. 17 schools are represented in the tournament.
The tournament is a regional individual championship and is a qualifier for the USTA/ITA National Individual Championship, which is held Nov. 4-7 at the USTA/Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York.
The top 16 players are seeded with the Shockers Lutfiana Budiharto the #5 seed. Lutfiana plays Isaura Enrique (Tulsa) in the 1st round.
Unfortunately for the Shocks 5 of their players are up against seeded players in the 1st round.
Lucia Kovalova plays #1 seed Natalia Pintusava (Minnesota)
Valerie Brockman plays #2 seed Sonja Molnar (Iowa)
Monstse Blasco-Fernandez plays #6 seed Madeleine Geibert (Nebraska)
Carla Venticinque plays #12 seed Cluadine Paulson (Arkansas)
Veronika Blaskova plays #15 seed Patricia Versova (Nebraska)
Delia Damaschin is the only Shocker playing in a match that does not involve a seeded player. She takes on Maria Sant'Anna (Tulsa).
NCAA tennis is clearly a global sport which is OK. I suppose that says a lot about the status of tennis in the heirarchy of sports in the U.S. Makes recruiting a much different animal than most NCAA sports.
