Women advance to championship in weekend tournament, men victorious over South Carolina

The No. 37 Shockers fell to No. 10 Texas A&M in the championship, 3-4. Wichita State fell short of pulling the upset victory when the Aggies captured victories in the final two matches of singles to claim victory.

Junior Aleksandra Trifunovic won a deciding point in the final singles match to hold serve and take a 5-4 lead. Yet the Aggies own Eva Paalma squared up the match, striking in do-or-die fashion to tie things up. Paalma would ultimately closeout the final match, surviving 6-5.

The women next face Oklahoma State at 1 p.m Saturday in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
