SCOUTING THE WAVES
Doubles partners Campana and Redelijk are coming off a semifinal run in the Battle of the Bay tournament in San Francisco, Calif., last week, in which they fell 8-2 to eventual runner-up Connie Ma and Angelica Blake of Stanford.
Over in singles play, Campana left the Bay Area with a 4-1 record when she bounced back from an opening-round loss in the main bracket by winning the consolation bracket with relative ease. Her 6-2, 6-1 win over Fresno State's Mariia Vyshkina earned her the consolation finals win last Sunday.
Redelijk, meanwhile, reached the quarterfinals of the singles bracket before falling to Ange Oby Kajuru of Oklahoma State in straight sets last Friday.
