The ITA All-American Championships finalists were determined today in Cary North Carolina for the women and in Tulsa Oklahoma for the menWith three of the semi -finals that go the distance.
Only no. 4 Seed Valerie Glozman from Stanford came through in court sets, in which the 18-year-old second-year student defeated the Ohio State Junior Teah Chavez, the No. 7 Seed, 6-3, 6-2 in a match that has been completely disputed.
In the other semi-final also played indoors due to rain, no. 9 Seed Carmen Harea of Texas came from behind to beat no. 3 seed Luciana Perry of Ohio State 3-6, 6-4, 6-4.
Despite the pedigree of both the Stanford and Texas programs, it has been a while since an All-American had champion. The most recent Champion of Stanford was Hilary Barte in 2010; Kelly Pace from Texas won the title for Texas in 1994.
The semi-finals of the ladies were played outside, with top seeds Reese Brantmeier and Alanis Hamilton from North Carolina, a set and a break, lost to non-sown Roisin Gilheany and Gloriana Nahum of Oklahoma 6-7 (3), 7-6 (5), 10-4. Gilheany and Nahum played an almost perfect match tiebraker to continue to the final.
The non-sown pair also won the semi-final of the other women, with Maria Sholokhova in Wisconsin and Lucie Urbanova with no. 5 seeds Gabriella Broadfoot and Victoria Osuigwe from NC State 6-4, 6-4.
