Auburn finishes play at ITA Southern Regionals

BATON ROUGE, La. – Auburn's participants in the ITA Southern Regionals in Baton Rouge, La. wrapped up play on Sunday.
 
In the doubles main draw, Adeline Flach and Kaitlyn Carnicella won two matches to make it to the quarterfinals before falling in the quarterfinal match on Sunday.
 
In the singles main draw, the freshman Carnicella claimed three straight matches over Tereza Dejnozkova, Anna Parkhomenko from rival Alabama, and Gia Cohen from Mississippi State to make it to the quarterfinals where she fell on Sunday. Flach emerged victorious in two matches in the singles main draw then lost in the round of 16. Junior Anastasia Astakhova fell in her first match of the main draw during the round of 64
 
"Today wasn't the way we hoped to finish regionals, but it doesn't diminish our growth and progress over the weekend," Auburn head coach Caroline Lilley said after play concluded on Sunday. "One area we will look to establish on the practice court is our resilience. To develop tenacity requires being uncomfortable. At times we didn't embrace adversity, but that is something that can be learned and absorbed before our next event."
 
Up next, the Tigers will travel to Baymon, Puerto Rico for the Puerto Rico Hidden Duals on October 28-30.
