Annina Brendel Wins Flight
Dayton, Ohio - Youngstown State sophomore Annina Brendel won the Flight "B" Championship at the Wright State Raider Shootout which was held over the weekend Thomas Cloud Park. As a group the Penguins won 14 singles matches and nine doubles matches.

Brendel highlighted the way winning four matches in straight sets to win her Flight. In Sunday's championship, she defeated Detroit's Elena Strakhova 6-2, 6-2.

Head Coach Mickael Sopel said Brendel has been practicing extremely well and was happy to see that translate to the court.

"I am very proud of what Annina achieved," Sopel said. "She played great tennis throughout the weekend while being able to apply everything we worked on this last month at practice. It is exciting to see that the hard work she has been putting on every practice is already paying off."

Marta Burak won her first two singles matches to reach the Flight "A" semifinals where she lost a hard-set three-set match to WSU's Linsey Verstrepen, 3-6, 7-5, 6-3. Margarita Sadovnikova won her opening match before losing in three sets in the quarterfinals.

In Flight B with Brendel, Carolyn Jesko advanced to the quarterfinals before dropping her match in three sets. For the weekend, Jesko was 2-1. At Flight C, Gimena Puppo went 2-2.

In doubles play, Burak and Sadovnikova won their first two matches to reach the semifinals while Jesko and Brendel won twice to reach the quarterfinals. After being eliminated, each tandem won in the back draw.

The Penguins return to action on Oct. 10 when they will compete at the ITA Midwest Regionals.
