LAS VEGAS – The NC State women's tennis team built off its opening day success at the Rebel Invite on Saturday as Tayla Stenta, Amanda Rebol and Taylor Bridges advanced to the championship matches of their singles flights at the Ferttita Tennis Complex
Rebol overcame Anna Bogoslavets of UNLV 7-5, 2-6, 6-2 to advance to the final of the #2 singles draw while in the #3 singles draw, Bridges prevailed 6-4, 6-4, over Grand Canyon's Emilia Ochipinti. In the #4 singles draw, Stenta earned a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Arizona's Sophia Thomas in her semifinal match.
In their finals, Rebol faces En-Pei Hung of UNLV, Bridges takes on Izumi Hasano of UNLV and Stenta looks to overcome Juliet Zhang, also of UNLV.
On the doubles side of the draw, Rebol & Adriana Reami fell 8-7(5) to #29 Eva Paalma & Domenica Gonzalez of Texas A&M in the #1 doubles draw and now contest the third-place match against Texas A&M's Iulia Ivascu & Riley Mcquaid.
Bianca Moldovan and Bridges will contest the consolation final in the #1 doubles draw follow their 8-4 loss to En-Pei Huang & Aiwen Zhu of UNLV. Their opponents in the consolation final are Devin Chypya & Camila Westbrooks.
"Every day whether it's matches, tournaments or just practice we've got to come out with a level of application and focus that's going to set the tone for the goals we are trying to accomplish," said head coach Simon Earnshaw. "Today we just didn't manage that for one reason or another early on, that lack of continuity from the first day really frustrated me because we are better than that and have to be better at finding a way when things just don't go our way. It took a late day reaction by our lower line-up, each of them advancing to their respective singles finals to somewhat remedy our position. Going into the final day of the fall season tomorrow I expect us to be prepared to leave it all out there, no reason not to. Go Pack!"
