MALIBU, California – The #9 Pepperdine women's tennis program advanced to the ITA National Team Indoor Championships with another dominating performance on Sunday, sweeping Memphis 4-0 at the Ralphs-Straus Tennis Center.
The other 15 teams and the draw for ITA Indoors, held February 10-13 at the University of Washington, will be released the week of February 6.
Doubles play was tight through the first couple of games on each court before Pepperdine (2-0) struck first. #4
Savannah Broadus (Carrollton, Texas) and
Janice Tjen (Jakarta, Indonesia) were 6-3 winners on the top court. Soon after,
Nikki Redelijk (Windermere, Fla.) and
Lisa Zaar (Stockholm, Sweden) clinched the doubles point with their second win of the weekend, also winning 6-3 on court three.
The Waves blitzed Memphis (1-4) right from the start in singles, winning five first sets – and only dropping eight total games in those five sets. Redelijk cruised to the first singles win of the day, cruising to a 6-1, 6-0 win over Emily Meyer on court four.
Anna Campana (Hillsborough, Calif.) was a 6-1, 6-2 winner on court six over Miriam Grosmann, and #12 Tjen slammed the door shut with a 6-0, 6-2 win on court one over Aran Teixido to secure the overall 4-0 win.
