MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. – Alana Smith and Jaeda Daniel highlighted the NC State women's tennis team's run at the ITA All-American Championships by reaching the doubles semifinal over the weekend.
The Wolfpack duo, which enters the season ranked 27th nationally, went 3-1 over the course of main draw action before falling to eighth-ranked Brooke Killingsworth and Anna Brylin on Saturday. Before that match, Daniel and Smith started the weekend with a victory over No. 11 Shiori Fukuda and Taisiya Pachkaleva and added two more ranked wins before the semifinal matchup.
Smith also put together an impressive run in the singles bracket, earning her way into the main draw after going unbeaten in qualifying action. All of her singles matches were also against ranked opponents, with her highest ranked win of the weekend coming in straight sets (6-3, 6-0) over Viktoriya Kanapatskaya in the first round of the main draw.
Daniel, Abigail Rencheli and Sophie Abrams all also participated in the national tournament.
NC State will continue fall action back in North Carolina as it participates in the ITA Carolina Regional in Winston-Salem from Oct. 21-25. The tournament serves as another opportunity for the Wolfpack to earn berths to the upcoming ITA Fall Nationals, which is scheduled for the beginning of November.
