SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Arizona women's tennis is set to kick off its fall season this week at the Battle in the Bay tournament in San Francisco, a tournament the Wildcats haven't competed in since 2016.
Held at the California Tennis Club, the tournament will feature sophomores Zoya Chulak and Haylee Conway representing the Wildcats in both singles and doubles. This marks the first fall tournament appearance for both players under head coach Ryan Stotland. They will open doubles play on Thursday at 10:00 a.m. MST against Jana Hossam Salah and Imogen Haddad (USC). In singles, Chulak will face Hana Gamracy (UCSD) at 12:00 p.m. MST, while Conway is set to play No. 97 Alexia Harmon (Pepperdine) at 4:00 p.m MST.
Chulak enters the tournament with an impressive record from her freshman year, including an 11-6 overall singles record and a 10-9 overall doubles record. One of her standout moments came last spring when she clinched the match against Utah, securing a spot for Arizona in the Big 12 championship quarterfinals. Conway, who redshirted last season, is set to make her collegiate debut.
The tournament runs from Wednesday, September 11, to Saturday, September 14, and features some of the country's top collegiate players. In addition to the strong competition, the tournament champion will also earn a wildcard entry into a $60,000 WTA event.
