ORLANDO, Fla. – Solymar Colling's remarkable freshman season concluded Wednesday with an NCAA Championships Round of 16 defeat against North Carolina's Sara Daavettila at the USTA National Campus.
Â
A day after becoming the first San Diego player to earn All-America honors since 2000, Colling dropped a 6-3, 6-3, decision against the 20th-ranked Daavettila.
Â
Despite the defeat, Colling has plenty to be proud of after a debut season in which she earned All-America honors, was the WCC Freshman of the Year, an All-WCC first team selection, and became the first Torero to compete in the NCAA Championships singles tournament since 2006.
Â
Colling finishes the year with a 27-8 overall singles record. She helped lead the Toreros to their first NCAA Tournament team appearance since 2012. She played every singles and doubles match this year at the No. 1 position and racked up a 15-5 dual match record in singles. She went 7-1 against WCC opponents.
