ANNAPOLIS, MD - The Maryland women's tennis team had a fantastic outing at the Navy Blue & Gold Invite, with Terps taking home first, second and third place titles.
Selma Cadar had an excellent weekend, taking home a first place title in her draw. Cadar started her campaign with a straight set victory over Arina Gumerova of Seton Hall 6-0, 6-1, then defeated Navy's own Grace Hashiuchi in similar fashion 6-2, 6-1. The sophomore then faced Navy's own Emily Tannenbaum, and punched her way to the finals with a 6-3, 6-2 victory. Cadar faced fellow Terp Marta Perez Mur, ultimately coming out victorious 6-4, 6-1 to take the singles title.
After a round one bye, Perez Mur defeated Themis Haliou of Towson in a quick two 6-1, 6-1 to get things going for Maryland, putting herself in the semis against fellow Terp Minorka Miranda. Miranda found herself in the semis with victories over Julianne Bou of UConn (6-2, 5-7, 13-11) and fourth-seeded Jillian Taggart (6-2, 7-6(5)). In the all Terp battle, Perez Mur came out on top after a tough three set fight, 3-6, 6-3, 10-7. Perez Mur then fell to Cadar in the finals. Newcomer Mary Brumfield picked up a win for Maryland with a victory over Zoe Huffman (7-5, 6-4) before having to withdraw in her next match due to injury.
Maryland saw success in doubles play, with partners Brumfield and Cadar making it to the semifinals with wins over Seton Hall (8-6) and Towson (8-1). Pair Perez Mur and Miranda made their way to the semifinals with victories against Seton Hall (8-1), George Washington (8-2), ultimately punching their ticket to the finals after coming back from a 4-7 deficit to take down Navy 8-7(7). In the finals, Perez Mur put up a hard fought battle against UNC-Washington's Belaya and Gish 1-8.
The Tennis Terps will be back in action in Charlottesville, Virginia for the ITA Super Regionals, Oct. 22-25.
