Angela Kulikov Reaches Quarterfinals of ITA Southwest Regionals
October 22, 2017 | Women's Tennis, Features
SAN DIEGO--USC sophomore Angela Kulikov made a strong showing at the ITA Southwest Regionals held in San Diego by reaching the Quarterfinals of the competition. After defeating UCLA's Sophie Bendetti in the Round of 128 with a decisive 6-1, 6-1 score, she continued to make a run in the bracket. Kulikov took down Hawaii's Alzebeta Houbova 6-3, 6-0, ninth seeded #96Â Palina Dubavets of UC Santa Barbara 7-5, 6-1 and Fullerton's Geneviece Zeidan 6-4, 6-2 to reach the Quarterfinals. On Saturday (Oct. 21), Kulikov fell to UCLA's fourth seeded Ayan Broomfield in the Quarterfinals.
In addition to Kulikov, the Trojans made up a quarter of the Round of 16 bracket as Madison Westby, Gabby Smith and Rianna Valdes each earned placement in this round.
Â
Trojan tandem Gabby Smith/Madison Westby also proved to be a force to be reckoned with as they too reached the Quarterfinals of the doubles competition. After having a bye in the Round of 64, fifth seeded Smith/Westby defeated San Diego State's Acera/Malbarger 8-6 and San Diego's Anderson/Nonnenmacher 8-6. In the Quarterfinals on Saturday (Oct. 21), the duo also fell to the Bruins. UCLA's second seeded Andrews/Hart beat Smith/Westby 8-6.
The USC teams of Branstine/Van Alphen and Kulikov/Weissmann joined Smith/Westby in the Round of 16 where they fell to their respective opponents.Â
Â
USC's next action will take them across the country to Tuscaloosa, Ala. as the Women of Troy will compete in the Roberta Alison Fall Classic from Oct. 27 through Oct. 29.
