FT. WORTH — The North Texas tennis team had a huge second day at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Texas Regional on Friday.
Liisa Vehvilainen and Jasmin Adams advanced to the round of 16 of the singles draw and three doubles teams advanced to the round of 32 of the doubles draw.
"It was a tough day with three matches but our amazing team gave me a lot of energy to go through and win all of my matches." said Vehvilainen. "I have been struggling a little with my tennis ever since coming here but the hard work that I have put in during practices is finally paying off and I'm feeling good on court."
Vehvilainen advanced to the round of 16 after beating the tournament's No. 6 seeded singles player Federica Trevisan from Rice, 7-5 7-6(2). Adams also beat a Rice opponent. The freshman took down
Diae El Jardi, 6-3 2-6 [10-7].
"Today was a great day," said Adams. "I felt the ball really well. I really felt the support today from my teammates that definitely helped me get over the line. I can't wait to compete tomorrow and represent UNT."
Vehvilainen showed so much resilience to win her second match. In the second set she was down 5-3 but came back resiliently to win. Vehvilainen's positivity has caught the attention of her coaches and they believe it makes a difference and does a great job of making her own energy.
In doubles, Vehvilainen teamed up with Saki Oyama to advance to the round of 32 with a 8-3 win over Malazonia, K / McCutcheon, M of Texas State.
Adams teamed up with senior Lucie Devier to beat Stewart, A / Crisologo, M of ACU to get to the round of 32. Due to an injury, Devier and Adams will advance to the round of 16 due to an injury to the would-be opponent.
Sophia Hummel and Likhitha Kalava also advanced to the round of the 16 of the doubles draw as they beat UTSA's Omoworare, S / Beyebach, E.
