Calbay upsets top seed as IUP shines at ITA Atlantic Regionals

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. — It was a banner day for the IUP women's tennis team, which advanced six players into the singles round of 16 at the ITA Atlantic Regional Championships. Three players have reached the quarterfinals, with one still set to play for a spot.

No. 11 seed Asel Calbay upset top-seeded Amaia Balaguer Brau to advance and will now face teammate Lea von Kozierowski, who defeated the No. 12 seed. Ifigenia Kafka also advanced to the quarterfinals with a win over unseeded Dominique Van Vuuren.

Unseeded Maria Moskaltsova pushed No. 4 seed Sofia Krasikova to a third-set tiebreaker in the round of 16 but came up short. Charliz Tabili is still awaiting her matchup with No. 7 seed Filippa Larsson, one of two matches yet to conclude the round.

In doubles play, von Kozierowski and Calbay advanced to the semifinals after defeating the No. 3 seed. Annemiek Sterk and Hannah Beitat also secured a semifinal berth with a win over the No. 4 seed.

The Crimson Hawks are now two victories away from having two doubles teams competing for an ITA championship.

IUP returns to action Saturday at 9:30 a.m. in Bloomsburg.
