Angela Kulikov Reaches Quarterfinals of ITA Southwest Regionals
October 22, 2017 | Women's Tennis, Features
SAN DIEGO--USC sophomore Angela Kulikov made a strong showing at the ITA Southwest Regionals held in San Diego by reaching the Quarterfinals of the competition. After defeating UCLA's Sophie Bendetti in the Round of 128 with a decisive 6-1, 6-1 score, she continued to make a run in the bracket. Kulikov took down Hawaii's Alzebeta Houbova 6-3, 6-0, ninth seeded #96 Palina Dubavets of UC Santa Barbara 7-5, 6-1 and Fullerton's Geneviece Zeidan 6-4, 6-2 to reach the Quarterfinals. On Saturday (Oct. 21), Kulikov fell to UCLA's fourth seeded Ayan Broomfield in the Quarterfinals.
In addition to Kulikov, the Trojans made up a quarter of the Round of 16 bracket as Madison Westby, Gabby Smith and Rianna Valdes each earned placement in this round.
Trojan tandem Gabby Smith/Madison Westby also proved to be a force to be reckoned with as they too reached the Quarterfinals of the doubles competition. After having a bye in the Round of 64, fifth seeded Smith/Westby defeated San Diego State's Acera/Malbarger 8-6 and San Diego's Anderson/Nonnenmacher 8-6. In the Quarterfinals on Saturday (Oct. 21), the duo also fell to the Bruins. UCLA's second seeded Andrews/Hart beat Smith/Westby 8-6.
The USC teams of Branstine/Van Alphen and Kulikov/Weissmann joined Smith/Westby in the Round of 16 where they fell to their respective opponents.
USC's next action will take them across the country to Tuscaloosa, Ala. as the Women of Troy will compete in the Roberta Alison Fall Classic from Oct. 27 through Oct. 29.
