Roadrunners win eight matches Arizona Invitational

TUCSON, Ariz. — UTSA picked up a total of eight victories (six singles/two doubles) at last weekend's three-day Arizona Invitational.

Leading the way was the duo of Miriam Rosell Canudas and Jacobea Junger.

Rosell Canudas advanced to the semifinals of the Red Singles Draw with straight-set wins against Utah State's Nini Guensler (6-3, 7-5) and UTEP's Duda Santos (6-2, 7-5). Her run came to an end with a 6-2, 6-1 setback to New Mexico's Andrea LeBlanc.

Meanwhile, Junger, also playing in the red draw, opened the event with a 6-4, 6-1 triumph against Marquette's Silvia Ambrosio, but she then lost a three-set decision to Tulane's Elena Muller in the quarterfinals (1-6, 7-6, 6-3). The senior from Stuttgart, Germany, went on to pick up a straight-sets victory (6-3, 7-6) against Arizona's Shayne Austin in the consolation bracket.

The pair also teamed up for two wins in the consolation bracket of Flight 1 doubles action.

They got past Utah State's Sabrina Demerath and Monika Van de Vondel, 8-4, before ending their weekend with an 8-2 victory against Arizona's Samantha Czarniak and Kinga Gartner.
