OLEAN, N.Y. – Four St. Bonaventure women's tennis players picked up singles match victories in the SBU Fall Classic on Saturday at the SBU Fitness Center.
Seniors Kathryn Kvas (pictured) and Riley Archer and sophomores Fatya Amiri and Marissa Brossard won their opening matches in their respective flight draws for the host Bonnies.
In Flight A quarterfinal action, Amiri topped Indiana University of Pennsylvania's Tanya Timko, 8-4, and Brossard defeated Niagara's Hilary Hansen, 9-8 (3). Both Amiri and Brossard, however, were ousted in the semifinal round by players from Youngstown State.
Kvas downed Niagara's Viki Sardellitti, 8-1, in the Flight B quarterfinals before falling to IUP's Abby McCormick in the semifinals. St. Bonaventure freshman Taylor Cole, meanwhile, was defeated in her quarterfinal Flight B match.
In a Flight C qualifying match, Archer bested Niagara's Taylor Cochran, 8-1, but lost to Youngstown State's Carolyn Jesko in the quarterfinal round. Archer, however, rebounded for her team-leading fifth singles victory of the fall with an 8-0 triumph over Niagara's Jenna McCune in the consolation bracket.
The tournament concludes Sunday with championship and consolation singles matches.
