SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Duke women’s tennis senior Chloe Beck closed the fall season on a high note on Sunday as she won the singles consolation bracket at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) National Fall Championship at the Barnes Tennis Center in San Diego, Calif.
“It’s a great feeling to close out the fall by winning the consolation bracket at fall nationals,” said Beck. “I’m really proud of the mindset that I had going into each match of the tournament and really valuing each opportunity to compete against the nation’s top players. At an event like this, no match is easy and there is going to be adversity, so making sure to appreciate the moment was huge. Coming off of this tournament, I can’t wait for the spring season and being able to compete next to my teammates again. The dual matches are what our team lives for, so spring can’t come quick enough.”
A product of Watkinsville, Ga., Beck registered a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Anika Yarlagadda of North Carolina to collect the title. Beck closed the fall with a 10-3 ledger in singles, while winning the back-to-back singles titles.
“This week showed a lot about Chloe’s character and how she progressed this fall,” said Duke women’s tennis head coach Jamie Ashworth. “To go out there and lose first round to a tough opponent from Stanford and then battle back mentally to win four matches is a great accomplishment for her. We are proud of how she has gotten better these last three weeks of the fall and we are excited to see where this leads in the spring.”
