Â
LAMOREAUX DOMINATES
In her first tournament as a Ute, Madeline Lamoreaux had a dominant showing at the Miami Fall Invite where she went undefeated, picking up three singles wins and a doubles victory. A transfer student from Eastern Washington and the 2019 Big Sky Freshman of the Year, she was quickly able to make her presence known on the Utah women's tennis team.
Â
During the first day of action at the tournament, she was paired with Emily Dush in doubles and defeated Georgia State's Alba Retorillo and LSU's Luba Vasilyuk, 7-5, to advance to the semifinal round. In singles, Lamoreaux matched up against Florida Atlantic's Harris Calwell and came away with a 6-2, 6-2 win. She then wrapped up her weekend with two matches on Sunday against Andreea Stanescu from Georgia State and Nada Dimovska from Miami. In three sets, she was able to overcome Stanescu with a score of 4-6, 7-6, 1-0 (10-6), and then cruised past Dimovska with a 6-1, 6-3 score to complete her first weekend as a Ute.Â
Â
LAST TIME OUT
The Utah women's tennis team opened their fall slate last weekend at the Miami Fall Invite. Despite battling severe weather conditions at the three-day event, which included forcing Saturday's play to be cancelled, the Utes went 9-3 in the first event of the fall.Â
Â
On the doubles side, the No. 55 ranked duo of Whitney Hekking and Madison Tattini picked up their first win as a pair against a duo from Florida Gulf Coast. Emily Dush and Madeline Lamoreaux also secured a double win for Utah on the first day of action.
Â
Hekking and Lamoreaux notched singles wins in the round of 16 that advanced them to the quarterfinals. Lamoreaux went on to win her next two matches to reach that would have positioned her to compete in the singles final, but the weather did not allow for the tournament draws to be played out. Tattini dropped her first match on Friday, but bounced back to win her next two matches in the consolation bracket.Â
Â
2018-19 IN REVIEW
The Utes finished with a 13-11 overall record last season and a 3-7 slate during Pac-12 play. Last year's team was ranked No. 38 in the nation for three consecutive weeks during the 2019 season, while concluding the season at No. 44 nationally in the ITA's final poll and ranked second in the Mountain Region final poll.
Â
Utah graduated its top singles player and Pac-12 All-Conference honorable mention member, Brianna Chisholm, who was a four-year letter winner for the women's tennis team. Chisholm and Tattini paired as Utah's top doubles team and ranked No. 49 in the nation. Utah earned a pair of ITA awards led by Tattini's ITA Rookie of the Year selection, as well as the team earning the ITA Community Service award. The Utes also tabbed three Pac-12 All-Academic and five ITA Scholar-Athlete selections.
Â
UP NEXT
The Utah women's tennis team will head to the ITA Women's All-American Championships to continue fall action. The tournament will be held Oct. 5-13 at LaFortune Tennis Center in Tulsa, Okla.Â
