Coleman Concludes Action at ITA All-American

CARY, N.C. – The Duke women’s tennis team continued play on Sunday at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-American as sophomore Ellie Coleman competed in two singles matches at the Cary Tennis Park in Cary, N.C.

In the morning, Coleman totaled a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Tulane’s Adelaide Lavery to move on to the third round of pre-qualifying.  A native of Midland, Mich., Coleman would then go up against Katherin Duong of Illinois in the afternoon.  Coleman opened with a nice start winning the first set, 6-1, but dropped the next two, 6-1, 6-4, to conclude her run.  

Duke freshman Katie Codd had started her pre-qualifying consolation match against Daria Smetannikovaon of Texas A&M Sunday, but inclement weather forced the match to stop with Codd leading 3-2.  The duo will return to the court on Monday.  

Pre-qualifying action will close on Monday due to weather delays, followed by qualifying Oct. 3-4 and main draw play will be Oct. 5-9.  

Beginning Oct. 5 for the main draw, CrossCourt Cast will be available for the matches with Mark Bey and Alex Gruskin providing commentary.  Live scoring will be available via the ITA here.
