PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. – University of Colorado tennis sophomore Tina Bokhua is the first player in the Nicole Kenneally era to be selected into the main draw of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Women’s All-American Championships, held Oct. 3-11 here at the Riviera Tennis Club.

Bokhua is one of just 24 players nationally selected directly into the main draw. There were 64 players that begin play in prequalifying last Saturday, and eight of those players advanced to the qualifying round, which features another 64 players. On Tuesday and Wednesday, those 64 will be paired down to the final eight qualifiers that will join the 24 preselected into the main draw. Main draw play begins Thursday and will run through the weekend.

Not sure if the scores and video are for the women or just the men.
 
Tough loss, but just to get into the draw as a sophomore was impressive.
 
Congrats to Ms. Bokhua for what sounds like a nice/ CU unprecedented win in the consolation draw of the championships yesterday.

PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. – University of Colorado sophomore tennis player Tina Bokhua pulled off one of the biggest wins in CU history Friday, defeating Florida’s Josie Kuhlman by a score of 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 (5).

The win marked the first win at the ITA All-American Championships main draw in CU history. Kuhlman was ranked as the No. 5 player in the nation in the ITA preseason rankings of Sept. 15. She was the No. 4 seed in the main draw and after losing yesterday, was the No. 2 seed of the back draw.

“It was an amazing effort with a lot of ups and downs,” CU coach Nicole Kenneally said. “It was really fun to watch her pull it out. It’s definitely one of the biggest wins in my time at CU.”

After defeating Kuhlman, Bokhua went on to face UCLA’s Catherine Harrison, the defending Pac-12 champion and 22nd-ranked player in the nation, in the back draw quarterfinals. Bokhua looked to be rolling, taking the first set 6-1 before falling by scores of 6-0, 6-3 in the final two sets.
