Three athletes represent BYU at ITA All-American Championships

CARY, NC — Three women's tennis athletes competed in the ITA All-American Championships starting on Sep. 21 and fought hard against various college teams.

"All-American is such a prestigious event," said head coach Holly Hasler. "Although we did not bring home a win, it was an incredible experience. We came home feeling grateful for the opportunity to learn and set goals for the remainder of the fall season."

Yujia (Bobo) Huang (0-2) began her senior fall season representing the Cougars in singles.

Freshman Sue Yan Tan made her collegiate debut this weekend playing in the doubles bracket with Kendall Kovick. The doubles team (0-2) lost both matches but are slowly finding their groove as a pair.
