ATHENS, Ga. - Richmond women's tennis sophomore Pamela Duran (#104) dropped 6-3, 6-1 to Vanderbilt's Amanda Fish (#19) in the NCAA Individual Championships Wednesday at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens Georgia, concluding her season.
"Pamela played well," said head coach Mark Wesselink. "Fish is Vanderbilt's number one player and a strong senior player and her experienced showed."
Duran (Guayaquil, Ecuador), the 2007 A-10 Most Outstanding Performer and 2006 Most Outstanding Rookie, concludes her sophomore season with an 11-7 mark at first singles this spring and a 13-3 record in doubles, including a 12-match win streak at the no. 2 spot.
Fish, a senior from Scituate, Mass., is currently ranked 19th in the nation and is also a member of one of the Top 10 doubles teams in the nation.
"For Pamela to even qualify for the tournament among the best players in the country was an honor and a great accomplishment on her part," said Wesselink. "This experience will serve her well in the future. She was one of the few underclassmen to be here among these top players, and we are excited about her future here at Richmond and leading the team again next year."
