Sophomore Sara Walker won her NCAA Tournament first-round match
against senior Ipek Senoglu of Pepperdine 6-3, 6-3. Senoglu was
ranked No. 29 nationally, while Walker was No. 18 as of May 2.

Walker is the 16th seed in the tournament and is favored to beat
unseeded Mirela Vladescu of University of Alabama, Birmingham
tomorrow.

Vladescu, ranked No. 20, upset 17th-ranked junior Gabriela
Lastra of Stanford 6-0, 6-3 to advance to meet Walker.

The Doubles Individual tournament was delayed due to rain.
Unfortunately for the Bruins, Walker and her doubles partner,
freshman Mariko Fritz-Krockow, will play No. 1-seeded freshman

Barnikow and Kalvaria defeated UCLA’s No. 1 doubles team

April 8 and April 21 matches.

Marinova and Fisher are up against junior Andrea Lord and
sophomore Angelina Zdorovytska of Loyola Marymount. Fisher and
Marinova are ranked No. 18 and Lord and Zdorovytska are ranked No.

March 27 match.

The undefeated Cardinal took home the NCAA Team Championship
Sunday after defeating Vanderbilt in the finals, 4-0.

Vanderbilt knocked UCLA out in the third round 4-1 and went on
to upset Duke in the quarterfinals and Georgia in the semifinals
before losing to Stanford.
