September 28, 2025 | Women's Tennis
CARY, N.C. – USC women's tennis senior Emma Charney won three-straight matches over the weekend at the ITA All-American Championships to reach the quarterfinals and qualify for the fall NCAA Singles Championship Tournament.
Currently No. 47 in the ITA preseason rankings, Charney defeated two top 25 ranked opponents in No. 22 Mia Kupres (Texas A&M) and No. 24 Kaitlyn Carnicella (South Carolina) during the main draw. The senior ultimately fell in the singles quarterfinal but earned her second career NCAA qualification. Charney previously competed at the championship tournament in 2024 as a sophomore. The senior is now one of just 10 athletes qualified for NCAA's and the first on USC's squad to punch her ticket.
USC junior No. 62 Immi Haddad also competed at ITA's, falling in the first round of qualifying play to UNC Charlotte's Prisca Abbas 6-1, 6-4. Haddad rebounded in qualifying consolation play to beat No. 109 Charlotte Keitel (USD) – 6-4, 3-6, 7-5.
In doubles, the No. 15 ranked pair of Charney and Lily Fairclough fell 0-6, 6-4, 1-0 [10-5] to Oklahoma's Gloria Nahum and Roisin Gilheany during the main draw round of 32.
