Weather brings an early end to Islander Open

Classmate Noemi Sante (Düsseldorf, Germany) faced Abigail Wild from Tyler Junior College in her final match and took the first set at 6-2. Wild forced a tiebreaker in the second set with a 7-6 (7-5) decision but the Javelina came out on top in the matchup with a 10-7 final in the super-tiebreaker.

Junior Maya Donkor (McLean, Va.) took on Jasmin Starr from UTSA in her final matchup as the Roadrunner handed her a straight-set defeat at 6-3, 6-1.

Sophomore Alessa Maier (Hechingen, Germany), classmate Jana Knaab (Stuttgart, Germany) and newcomer Manuela Turolo (Cividale del Friuli, Italy) were all scheduled to compete on the final day before their respective opponents bowed out of the bracket.
