LOS ANGELES - Sophomore Elizabeth Plotkin and freshman Reka Zsilinszka each won their final prequalifying match at the Riviera/ITA Women's All-American Championships presented by Fila on Sunday, as the pair were two of eight players to advance to the qualifying bracket of the tournament.
Plotkin, who ranks 102nd in the nation, defeated Delia Demaschin of Arkansas, 6-3, 6-2, to claim her spot in the qualifying bracket. Prior to Sunday, she had defeated Kirsten Paul of Western Michigan, 6-3, 6-1, and Whitney Peterson of Cal Poly, 6-0, 6-2.
Zsilinszka posted a 6-4, 6-1 win over Andrea Remynse of UCLA to earn a spot in the qualifying bracket, after defeating 125th-ranked Romy Farrah of Miami, 6-2, 6-1, and Stephanie Davison of Texas, 6-0, 6-0, in her previous matches.
The qualifying round for All-American singles and doubles competition will take place on Oct. 2-3 at the Riviera Tennis Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif. Along with Plotkin and Zsilinszka, junior Melissa Mang and freshman Ellah Nze will compete for a spot in the singles main draw, and the Blue Devil tandem of Plotkin and Nze will challenge for a place in the doubles bracket. Mang received a preseason singles national ranking of No. 72, while Plotkin and Nze combine to form the No. 35 team in the nation.
Draws for the qualifying brackets will be released on Oct. 1.
The duo of Mang and senior Tory Zawacki won the doubles championship at the 2007 ITA National Summer Championships in August, earning a wild card spot in the All-American main draw, which will take place on Oct. 4-7, in Pacific Palisades. The Blue Devil pair ranks 22nd in the national preseason listings.
