LAKE NONA, Florida – Two members of the Pepperdine women's tennis team completed their time in the ITA Fall National Championships as Ashley Lahey and Jessica Failla finished in the tournament semifinals while competing unattached.
RESULTS

Failla (Unatt.) def. Veronika Miroshnichenko (LMU) – 6-3, 6-1

SEMIFINALS

Abbey Forbes (UCLA) def. Failla (Unatt.) – 6-0, 6-2
RECAP
The pair started off hot through the first three rounds of the ITA Fall Nats, defeating highly touted college players across the country. In the quarterfinals, Ashley Lahey defeated hometown hero Rebeka Stolmar of UCF in a pair of two grueling sets where Lahey came out on top 7-5, 7-6(4).
Jessica Failla saw an all-too-familiar foe for her semifinal matchup in San Diego's Solymar Colling who Failla defeated in August for the ITA Summer Nationals championship. The Wave took down the Torero yet again in 6-3, 6-3 fashion en route to the tournament semifinals.
During last fall's ITA All-American Championships, Lahey beat UNC's Alexa Graham in the tournament finals and earned her third-straight championship trophy. The tables turned this fall, however, as Graham got the best of Lahey, going 6-0, 6-1. Failla fell in similar fashion, to powerhouse UCLA's Abbey Forbes, 6-0, 6-2 to end their time in Florida.
