Arizona State’s Kassidy Jump defeated teammate Sammi Hampton, 1-6, 6-3, 6-2, to win the 22nd annual Thunderbird Invitational at Whiteman Tennis Center on Sunday.
The Sun Devils captured the tournament title for the second straight season with the victory. Players from Northern Arizona, California, San Diego and Fresno State also participated.
Head coach Sheila McInerney, entering her 33rd tenured season, said she was proud of the result, noting it was a team goal to secure each of the tournament’s awards.
“We wanted to bring the Kachinas (trophy awarded to winner) home. We wanted to keep them here, which we did,” McInerney said.
