UCLA Harrison Falls at ITA Championships

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – In a rematch of last year’s Pac-12 singles championship, UCLA senior Catherine Harrison (No. 22) fell in the first round of main draw singles to Cal’s Klara Fabikova (No. 16) at the 2015 Riviera/ITA Women’s All-American Championships on Thursday.

The last time the two met, Harrison swept Fabikova in straights to become the third Bruin in as many years to take home the Pac-12 title in Ojai.  This time around, however, Fabikova came out on top after Harrison forced a third set.

Although action has ended for UCLA at the All-American Championships, three Bruins head to Long Beach to compete in the Long Beach State Invitational this weekend.  The tournament gets underway Friday at 10 a.m. with the first round of doubles, followed by one round of singles action, then more doubles at 3:30 p.m.

At 11 a.m. on Friday, sophomore Kristin Wiley will face Dane Vorster (PSU) while sophomore Maia Magill takes on GCU’s Susie Baklini.  In her debut for the Bruins, freshman Cameron Patterson will battle CSUN’s Kristen Poei at 2 p.m. on Friday.

Saturday's action begins with doubles at 9 a.m., followed by singles action the rest of the day. Championship and consolation matches will be held on Sunday morning with doubles at 9 a.m. and singles at 11 a.m.

The tournament is single-elimination format, with all players and doubles pairs guaranteed a minimum of two matches. Upon elimination, players can sign up for additional matches.
