The Commodore pair will face UCLA’s Bercek and Fisher on Friday for an opportunity to advance to their second national final of the 2003-04 season. That match is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. CT. Schmandt and Tsoubanos teamed up for the first time in the fall, winning the first of three ITA national tournaments — the ITA All-American Championships — in September. Junior Audra Falk’s run in the NCAA Tournament ended Thursday with a 6-1, 6-3 loss to the defending NCAA Singles Champion, Amber Liu of Stanford. Falk ended the 2004 regular season ranked No. 13, and turned a trio of wins into an appearance in the tournament’s final eight. |
