BYU secures three victories at Women of Troy Invite

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Four BYU women's tennis athletes headed to California over the weekend and combined for three wins at the Women of Troy Invite.

Chelsea Bluestein, Kendall Kovick, Grace Levelston and Sue Yan Tan each represented BYU in singles and doubles against USC, Pepperdine, UCSB, Wisconsin and Tennessee.

The women fought hard against all five schools, winning two singles matches and one doubles match in the tournament.
