SAN DIEGO – Several Toreros made their fall debuts, some their USD debuts, on home courts at the USTA SoCal Women's Tennis Championships over the weekend.
 
Defending WCC Freshman of the Year Hannah Read highlighted the Torero performances at the Hogan Tennis Center, battling to the singles semifinal with a tournament record of 3-1. USD freshman Vilma Krebs-Hyllested suited up in a San Diego uniform for the first time and also went 3-1 in singles.
 
Read and Krebs-Hyllested teamed up in doubles to notch a winning record over the course of the doubles draw. Junior Kristina Nordikyan and freshman debutant Maria Shmakova were the other duo to represent the team in doubles, finishing 1-1.
 
Sophomore Anni Puls notched wins in the first two rounds of the singles draw before being eliminated. Puls, Krebs-Hyllested and Read were each eliminated by the same player, co-champion Eugenia Zozaya Menendez.
 
Up next, the Toreros stay at home for a hidden dual, the 5^th Annual San Diego Veterans Tennis Classic from Friday, Oct. 3 to Sunday, Oct. 5.
