Featuring players from more than 30 colleges across the country, last weekend’s ITA National Indoor Championships marked the first time Virginia has hosted an event of national championship caliber.
On the men’s side of the draw, the doubles team of sophomore Michael Shabaz and senior Dominic Inglot headlined the weekend for the Cavaliers at the Boyd Tinsley Courts at the Boar’s Head Sports Club. The pair overpowered Michigan sophomore Jason Jung and junior Mike Scroczynski (7-5, 6-3) Saturday to earn a spot in the doubles backdraw finals. Shabaz and Inglot again emerged victorious Sunday, defeating junior Monte Tucker and freshman Michael Johnson of Auburn-Montgomery in straight sets (6-2 6-2) to claim the consolation crown.
In the men’s singles bracket, Shabaz advanced to the semifinals of the backdraw before falling to Kentucky senior Bruno Agostinelli (3-6, 6-4, 6-7) in a tight three-set thriller Saturday.
Junior Jennifer Stevens was the top individual performer for the Virginia women’s team, making it to the round of 16 before losing to Auburn junior Fani Chifchieva (4-6, 6-3, 3-6).
In the women’s doubles consolation quarterfinal Friday, the Cavalier pair of seniors Amanda Rales and Maggie Yahner fell to USC junior Gabriela Niculescu and sophomore Maria Sanchez (3-8).
