SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Pepperdine women's tennis sophomore Alexia Harmon earned a pair of singles victories at ITA Conference Masters this week in San Diego.

The tournament consisted of each NCAA automatic qualification eligible Division I conference having one singles player and one doubles team from each gender participating in the event. Four singles and three doubles automatic qualifications into the NCAA Championships were awarded at the end of the tournament.

The Waves represented the West Coast Conference in both singles and doubles at the tournament, with Harmon pairing with Anastasiia Grechkina in the doubles draw while contesting the singles draw. Grechkina earned her bid to the NCAA Singles Championship earlier this fall at ITA Southwest Regionals.

Harmon began the week in the round of 32 with a two-set win (6-4, 6-2) over Oakland's Martyna Piechowicz. Returning later in the same day Thursday, Harmon took down Bryant's Yahli Noy (6-4, 6-1) in the round of 16.

Matching up with Cal's No. 17 Mao Mushika in the quarterfinals, Harmon fell in two sets, ending her run one victory shy of the automatic bid to NCAAs. In the doubles draw, the Waves fell in a super tiebreak against Furman after each winning a set.
