Sharks Battle Elements, Stiff Competition on Second Day at Buccaneer Invite

Sarah Wardenburg advances to the finals in both doubles and singles

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – Following a morning rain delay in South Florida, the Sharks women's tennis team returned to action at the Buccaneer Tennis Center on the second day of competition in the Buccaneer Invitational. Despite hard-fought efforts, the Sharks advanced one doubles pair and one singles player to the finals – senior Sarah Wardenburg in on both victories.

Doubles Play
Still rolling in doubles Flight A, the pair of Wardenburg (Waikato, New Zealand) and sophomore Natalie Espinal (Tegucigalpa, Honduras) took down host Barry's Aleksandra Buczynska and Xiyao Wang, 6-4.
  
Singles Play
Wardenburg advances to the next round in singles with a Flight C victory over Barry's Clara Versier, 6-3, 6-2, and will face ASA College's Ji Youn Lee on Sunday.

Direct From Coach Doug Neagle
"It was tough, windy conditions for all the players and a true test of patience. It's good to play in weather like this and really test your players. It's only going to get them better. You improve when you're uncomfortable whether you win or lose. We are looking to have a strong finish with our last fall season competition tomorrow."
