COLORADO STATE at the ITA Central Region Championship
Oct. 20-24 • Tulsa, Oklahoma

The ITA Central Region Championship is the last tournament for the Rams' fall season. This tournament will help with preliminary rankings for the upcoming spring season. The Rams look to improve the consistency of their play and their success while in Oklahoma. Zhurin, Kirchem, Singh, and Pallares will compete in the ITA Championship. Last year Zhurin went the furthest winning her first three matches and making it to the round of 16. Kirchem and Singh each won their first-round matches last year.

Notes:

  • The Rams lost two members from last year's squad and have no newcomers this season.
  • Alex Paganetti and Jasmin Singh have the best preseason doubles record with a 4-2 mark in the last two years.
  • Emily Kirchem and Dasha Zhurin are at 3-4 in doubles improving from last season's tourney record of 1-4.
  • Dasha Zhurin needs nine victories to break into the top five on the CSU career singles wins chart. She currently has 56 singles wins in her career.
