ROHNERT PARK, Calif. — The Academy of Art University women's tennis team completed another fall tournament this weekend, this time competing in the Sonoma State Fall Invitational and earning a doubles title, a singles championship berth and additional semifinals appearances in both singles and doubles championship appearances.
 
Junior Lucia Zavarcikova and senior Nina Gajdosikova took the Flight A doubles title, defeating host Sonoma State's Kaitlyn Haithcock and Jordyn Kearney on their home court. Both teams had first-round byes in the flight and both went through duos from Dominican (Calif.) – winning by identical scores of 8-3 – to get to the championship match.
 
Zavarcikova also played her way into the championship match of the Flight A singles by defeating two Sonoma State players on their home courts before falling to Rickimae Torres of Dominican in the championship. Torres was the only player standing in the way of the Flight-A singles championship being an all ART U affair, as she defeated Gajdosikova in the semifinals.
 
Gajdosikova would go on to earn third place in the Flight A singles bracket, defeating Haithcock on Sunday. Jenny Johansson also played in the Flight A singles bracket, reaching the quarterfinals before falling to Torres. Johansson rebounded and earn a fifth-place finish in the bracket by winning the rest of her matches.
 
Johannson and senior Kinga Kurczbuch made it to the championship match of the Flight B doubles but were forced to retire due to illness. They defeated Dominican's doubles team of Francesca Katafias and Kelly Zwicker 8-3 en route to the finals appearance.
 
The Sonoma State tournament wrapped up the Urban Knights' fall schedule. The team will now prepare to begin their spring schedule in 2015.
