CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Pittsburgh tennis team wrapped up its first weekend of action of the 2017-18 season Sunday afternoon at the Miami Fall Invite.
The Panthers completed three full days of action against host team Miami, Florida Gulf Coast and Auburn.
"I am happy with the way we competed all three days and how we finished it today: strong," said head coach Alex Santos. "Gabriela [Rezende] and Jovana [Knezevic] brought tremendous energy in doubles the past two days by setting the bar high and leading by example. Callie [Frey] showed the heart of a true senior. I am also very proud of Natsumi [Okamoto] and Clara [Lucas] because they are definitely doing a lot of things right."
Senior Callie Frey and freshman Claudia Bartolome were the lone Panthers to go 2-0 in singles. Frey outlasted FGCU's Laura Falceto Font 7-6 [7-4] on Saturday and picked up another singles win over Miami's Ulyana Shirokova in straight sets 6-2, 6-2 this afternoon.
In her collegiate debut this weekend, Bartolome picked up a straight-set win over FGCU's Patricia Villar 6-2, 6-4 on Saturday and recorded a 6-3, 2-6, 1-0 [10-7] win over Miami's Daniella Roldan on Sunday.
Frey and Bartolome also had a successful weekend in doubles action, finishing 2-1. The duo recorded a 6-2 over Miami's Sara Culbertson and Sharon Danquah on Friday and added a 6-3 victory this afternoon over FGCU's Laura Falceto Font and Patricia Villalr.
