Fall Season Reflection
Stan State's fall campaign featured three tournaments, beginning with the Dominican Hidden Duals in early October before continuing at the ITA West Regional Championships in Fresno and concluding at the SJSU Hidden Duals.
Mikami emerged as one of the Warriors' early contributors, opening the season with three consecutive singles victories at Dominican. She extended that streak to four matches with an 11-9 deciding match tiebreak victory over Point Loma's Anna Pallencaoe in the opening round of the ITA West Regionals.
Sobrapena also made an immediate contribution in her first season with Stan State. The junior transfer collected two singles victories at Dominican before advancing through the opening round of the ITA West Regionals with a 7-5, 6-0 victory over Fresno Pacific's Jessica McLean.
Mulick and Damkjær each added opening-round singles victories at the regional tournament, with Damkjær later pushing fourth-seeded Zofia Dziewiecka of Menlo into a deciding match tiebreak.
In doubles, Mulick and Sobrapena earned an 8-6 victory over Westmont at the ITA West Regionals before falling to a seeded Point Loma pairing in the round of 16.
The fall schedule provided Stan State with opportunities to compete against familiar PacWest opponents, regional Division II programs and Division I competition, giving the Warriors a wide range of experience heading into the spring.
Up Next
Stan State will now turn its attention to the spring portion of the 2026-27 season, when the Warriors return to traditional dual-match competition.
The spring schedule will provide the team with opportunities to build on its fall experience as Stan State prepares for another season in the PacWest Conference.
With four returning players and two newcomers gaining valuable competition experience throughout the fall, the Warriors will look to continue developing their lineup and doubles combinations as they prepare for the spring campaign.
