FLUSHING, N.Y./CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – In a battle of the nation's top two freshmen, Duke's Beatrice Capra defeated UCLA's Robin Anderson, the nation's No. 2 newcomer, 1-6, 7-5, 7-6(6) to win the singles consolation championship Sunday at the 2011 ITA Indoor Intercollegiate Championships.
After coming off two decisive victories over ranked opponents the day before, Capra started Sunday morning a little slow, losing the first set to Anderson, 6-1. With the second set tied 4-4, Capra surged to a 7-5 victory, and forced a third set.
The third set started evenly, as Capra and Anderson split the first two games. Anderson took the next two games to grab a 3-1 lead, but Capra fought back to tie the set at three. After ties at 4-4, 5-5 and 6-6, Capra broke through to win the final set, 7-6(6), to claim the victory.
At the Kitty Harrison Invitational, Duke opened the day with doubles matches against ACC rival Virginia. Sophomore Hanna Mar and freshman Annie Mulholland collected an 8-4 win over Maria Fucillo and Li Xi, but junior Mary Clayton and senior Monica Gorny fell to Lindsey Hardenbergh and Erin Vierra, 8-5.
Closing out the day, the Blue Devils swept Texas A&M in five singles matches. Mar defeated Sun Wen, 6-3, 7-5, Clayton downed Lauren Santacroce, 6-1, 7-5, and Gorny took down Dane Vorster, 6-2, 6-2. Freshman Monica Turewicz outlasted Janelle Cuthbertson 6-1, 6-2, while Mulholland beat Sheri Olivier, 6-1, 6-2.
After three days of matches, Turewicz was awarded second place in singles with a perfect 3-0 record.
Duke closed out its fall schedule this weekend, and will open up the 2012 spring season Jan. 13-15 at the NCTC Invitational in Palm Springs, Calif. and the UNLV Invitational in Las Vegas, Nev.
