Warriors Update
Through two days of competition, Stan State has faced a challenging field featuring San José State, Santa Clara and Nevada.
The Warriors entered the weekend following appearances at the Dominican Hidden Duals and ITA West Regional Championships, where several players collected early-season victories against regional competition.
Mikami opened the fall with three consecutive singles wins at Dominican before advancing through the first round of the ITA West Regionals. Sobrapena, Mulick and Damkjær also earned opening-round singles victories in Fresno, while Mulick and Sobrapena advanced in doubles.
The SJSU Hidden Duals have presented a different challenge, with the Warriors facing opponents from NCAA Division I programs rather than their usual PacWest competition.
For head coach Verek Visaraga, the tournament provides additional opportunities to evaluate the team's progress and continue developing its singles lineup and doubles combinations before the spring dual-match season.
Around the Tournament
Saturday's competition also featured several closely contested matches between Nevada and Santa Clara.
Nevada earned singles victories from Nikol Janickovicova, Defne Aydemir, Kennedy Robinson and Oliwia Kuszel, with all four matches extending to three sets.
Santa Clara's Juliette Krumholz earned a three-set victory over Shinar Zahra, while Ashley Kurizaki's match against Petra Janigova was listed without a result.
In doubles, San José State collected three victories against Santa Clara. Emma Fantousis and Emilija Pranyte won a tiebreak against Ashley Kurizaki and Anna Rahman, while Soledad Capilla and Nitika Girish also secured a tiebreak victory over Ashley Katz and Alexandra O'Brien.
Cristina Losada and Katarina Brajovic completed the Spartans' doubles session with a 7-5 victory over Lara Quaglia and Juliette Krumholz.
The results highlight the competitive field Stan State has encountered throughout the weekend as the tournament moves toward its final day.
Up Next
Stan State concludes the SJSU Hidden Duals on Sunday, Nov. 8, at the San José State Tennis Center.
The Warriors are scheduled to face Nevada at 9 a.m. before closing the tournament against Santa Clara at noon.
Sunday's competition will mark the final scheduled fall action for Stan State, giving the Warriors one more opportunity to compete against Division I opponents before shifting their focus to the spring dual-match season.
The final day will also provide additional match experience for the team's four returning players and two transfers as the Warriors continue preparing for PacWest competition.
