LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Newcomer Jessica Anzo reeled off five-straight victories to win the second-place playoff at last week's PTT $25k Lawrence, played at the University of Kansas' Jayhawks Tennis Center.
Anzo – a transfer from Texas A&M – dropped her first match in round-robin play but bounced back with victories over opponents from Belmont and Kansas State to finish runner-up in her group. She picked up three more wins in the second-place playoff – the last in three sets over KU's Mariana Manyoma Velasquez, 6-2, 3-6, 6-0.
"Jessica competes so well and has a great sense of what tactics and style to use in each situation, based on the score and playing style of her opponent," head coach Colin Foster said.
