Blacksburg, Va. - Loni Worsley remains in the main draw of competition as the No. 1 seed in the Virginia Tech Fall Invitational. Three NC State women's tennis players made the trip to Blacksburg for the tournament, which will conclude on Sunday.

Myrna Bawono was victorious in her first match of the day, downing Laura Dickinson from Radford in straight sets of 6-0, 6-0. Bawono fell in the second round to UVa's Kristen James in two sets.
