SAN DIEGO –  Three San Diego tennis players were dropped from their final respective NCAA Individual Championships qualifying opportunity on Thursday.
 
On the women's side, seniors Claudia De Las Heras and Kailey Evans fell in the second rounds of the ITA Conference Masters (Rome, Ga.) and ITA West Sectionals (Los Angeles, Calif.) respectively. USD graduate student Savriyan Danilov suffered defeat in the first round of the Men's ITA West Sectional in Malibu, Calif.
