LYNCHBURG, VA -- The Maryland Women's Tennis Team had an outstanding tournament at the ITA Atlantic Regionals, hosted by the University of Lynchburg, clinching two spots in the NCAA Fall Tournaments!
Senior Diya Challa and junior Emma Ghirardato reigned supreme in the doubles bracket, defeating the #1-seeded Virginia doubles pairing to punch their ticket to the NCAA. This will be the second consecutive season that Ghirardato has competed in the doubles championship, competing with Ema Kovacevic last season. This will be Challa's first appearance at the Fall NCAA tournament.
The Terps also made history, marking the first time in 20 years that Maryland was represented in both the doubles and singles fall championships, after freshman Anastasiia Sorska clinched the singles ticket in the semifinals yesterday.
