ORLANDO, Fla. – Washington State sophomore Michaela Bayerlova posted a straight-set victory in the opening round of the 2019 NCAA Women's Tennis Singles Championship Monday afternoon at the USTA National Campus.
Bayerlova, ranked No. 42 nationally, never trailed as she defeated No. 55 Lauren Proctor of Winthrop, 6-4, 6-3. It marked the second-straight season Bayerlova won her opening-round match at the NCAA Championship, the only Cougar to ever win a round in program history.
"Michaela did a great job of playing her game from the first point of the match," said WSU Head Coach Lisa Hart.
