College Report

BOREN FINISHES STRONG IN FALL SEASON

University of Tennessee Lady Vol tennis player freshman Brynn Boren (Dana Hills HS), was eliminated in the semifinals of the consolation singles draw at the 2010 USTA/ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships on Nov. 6. Boren began the day in impressive fashion, posting a comeback victory over No. 41-ranked Michaela Kissell of Marshall. Kissell took the first set, 6-4 before Boren rallied to take the second, 7-5. From there, Boren cruised in the third set, 6-2 to advance to the semifinals. In the semis, she faced Alabama's Mary Ann Macfarlane, falling 6-4, 6-1.

In doubles play, the duo of Boren and Maria Sorbello advanced to the quarter finals before losing to Florida's Sophie Oyen and Allie Will, 8-2. Oyen and Will are ranked No. 18 in the nation and knocked off top-seeded Hilary Barte and Mallory Burdette of Stanford, the defending NCAA Champions.

In her inaugural fall campaign at Rocky Top, Boren posted some impressive numbers. She recorded a team-best 13 singles victories against just five losses and went 4-2 against players ranked in the ITA top 100. She was the USTA/ITA Ohio Valley Regional Champion in both singles and doubles.

HARDIE NOTCHES WINS IN SINGLES AT SO. CAL INTERCOLLEGIATES

UCLA sophomore Warren Hardie (Dana Hills HS) qualified for the main draw by downing Pepperdine's Hugh Clarke, 4-6, 6-2, (11-9).

Hardie then won both of his matches in straight sets, beginning with a 6-3, 6-4 first round victory over USC's J.T. Sundling. He followed that up with a 7-6(4), 6-2 win over teammate Alex Brigham. In the quarter finals, he lost to eventual champion USC's Jaak Poldma 7-6, 7-5.

Up next for the Bruins is the National Collegiate Tennis Classic January 14th at La Quinta CA.

PIRATES CONCLUDE FALL SEASON

Junior David Masciorini advanced to the semifinals of Flight B

East Carolina junior David Masciorini (Dana Hills HS) advanced to the semifinals of the 2010 Seahawk Invitational this past weekend before losing to top-seeded Alex Wetherell of UNC Wilmington.

Masciorini defeated fourth-seeded Andres Perez of N.C. Central in straight sets to advance to the semifinals and took the first set from Wetherell. He won his opening round match against Monmouth's Jason Rothstein in straight sets.

Masciorini was one of three Pirates to reach the quarterfinals as ECU closed out the fall season Saturday. Seniors Henrik Skalmerud and Stian Tvedt also posted opening round victories to reach the round of eight.

Masciorini joined Nathaniel Smiley to earn a spot in the championship match of Double Flight B, which was not contested.

The Pirates open their 2011 spring season on Jan. 27 against Liberty in White Sulpher Springs, W.Va.

REDLAND’S MEN’S TENNIS GARNERS PRESEASON RANKING OF 16TH

It was announced on Nov. 4th that the University of Redlands men’s tennis team landed among the elite of Division III programs by coming in at No.16 on the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA)/Campbell’s Preseason Rankings.

Following last year’s 15-11 performance, the Bulldogs anticipate the return of four All-Conference honorees in seniors Cameron Spearman (Dana Hills HS), & Kevin Wong (Kaneohe, HI), graduate student Jeff Hammond (Mercer Island, WA), & rookie standout Anish Nanda (Cerritos, CA). In addition, sophomore Mark Bloom (Dana Hills HS) is competing for a starting spot on the squad.

As in years past, Redlands takes on a challenging Division III schedule, which includes No. 2 Amherst College (MA), No. 4 Emory University (GA), & No. 5 UC Santa Cruz, within a seven-day period. The Bulldogs look forward to its first match of the 2011 campaign on Feb. 5 against Hope International University.

UNIVERSITY OF HARTFORD KNOCK OFF HOLY CROSS

The Hartford women's tennis teams came into its match at Holy Cross looking to finish their fall dual match schedules on an upswing, and they did just that as they emerged victorious. Hartford's women came back from a 3-1 early deficit to win, 4-3, when Kaitlin Lennon won the final match on the court 6-3, 6-2. Hartford got off to a slow start as they dropped the doubles point, and only No. 2 freshman Katina Zampas (Capo Valley Christian HS) earned a victory in the first three singles matches to wrap up. Zampas earned a 6-2, 6-3 win from the second position to get the Hawks on the board, leaving them down 3-1 with three matches to play.

The women are 2-2, with wins over St. Francis (NY) and Holy Cross. Coach Michael Raymond hopes these wins and the off-season training program will help boost them forward into the spring season. Next match is February 26 against University of Rhode Island in East Hartford CT.
