FULLERTON, Calif. – The Cal State Fullerton women's tennis team returns to action on Friday, participating in the three-day Beach Tennis Tournament on the campus of Long Beach State.
Second-year head coach Dianne Matias brings back eight letterwinners from a year ago, including four seniors, while welcoming three freshmen: Isabel Donaldson (Bakersfield, Calif./Bakersfield HS), Michelle Erasmus (Johannesburg, South Africa/ Brescia House School), and Danielle Pham (Irvine, Calif./University HS).
Play will begin on Friday with one round of singles and two rounds of doubles action, followed by two singles rounds and one doubles round on Saturday. The tournament will conclude with one round of doubles and one round of singles on Sunday.
Sophomore returners Alexis Valenzuela and Camille De Leon are scheduled to compete in Singles Flight 1, while Erasmus and redshirt sophomore Emilia Borkowski are set to compete in Singles Flight 2.
Singles Flight 3 will feature senior Jessica Pepa and Pham, while Singles Flight 4 will include senior Devyn Billingsley.
Doubles teams for the Titans will include Valenzuela/Borkowski (Flight 1), De Leon/Megan Sandford (Flight 1), Erasmus/Pham (Flight 2) and Pepa/Billinglsey (Flight 2).
The Titans completed the 2014 season with a record of 8-15 overall, and finished conference play in eighth place with a mark of 1-7, but were spurred during the season by the talented rookie tandem Valenzuela and De Leon.
Valenzuela was named to the Big West Singles First Team in April, becoming the first Titan named to the first team dating back to 1989. As a freshman, the West Covina, Calif., native led Fullerton with an overall record of 23-6 as well as a mark of 15-4 in singles dual play. Her 15 singles wins and 14-match winning streak from Feb. 5-April 11 set program highs dating back to 2001.
De Leon was one of three players in Fullerton's lineup to record a winning record (13-10), and the La Mirada, Calif., native was also named to the Big West Conference Doubles Second Team with partner Morgan McIntosh.
In singles play, De Leon completed the year with a 21-14 overall record competing mostly at the No. 3 spot (13-8), while suffering two losses at No. 2 in the lineup during dual action.
In doubles play, De Leon and McIntosh partnered during the spring season and the duo finished the year with a record of 10-11 at the top of the lineup and managed a 3-4 mark in Big West play.
