UDallas Women Battle at ITA Regional

IRVING, Texas – The University of Dallas women's tennis team wrapped up play at the ITA Southwest Regional Championships this past weekend, turning in a series of strong performances highlighted by standout efforts from freshmen Avery Williams and Bridget Sullivan.

In A Draw doubles, the duo of Williams and Sullivan opened the tournament with an impressive 8–5 win over UMHB before falling to the eventual tournament champions in the following round.

Avery Williams put together an exceptional run in A Draw singles after a tight three-set loss to UMHB (6–4, 3–6, 4–10) in the opening round. She bounced back in dominant fashion, rattling off five straight victories to close out her weekend. Her wins included decisive victories over Hardin-Simmons (6–1, 6–0) | (1–6, 6–0, 10–8), Howard Payne (2–6, 6–3, 10–4), Concordia (7–5, 3–6, 11–9), and McMurry (6–2, 6–3).

In B Draw singles, Bridget Sullivan picked up a strong first-round win over Texas Lutheran (7–5, 6–2) before dropping her second match (4–6, 3–6).

Head Coach Jacob Delao was encouraged by his young team's showing, "We had a very freshman-heavy team with no seniors and I believe everyone got great experience competing at the college level! I'm excited to continue to see our growth and how we use that experience to make us better come spring!"

The Crusaders will return to action this spring as they look to build on their promising fall results.
