BERKELEY, Calif. – The Utah women's tennis team concluded a successful trip to the Cal Fall Invite on Sunday afternoon as they had two players in the semifinals of their draws.

Matching up against the 8th-seed in the Gold Draw, Anastasia Goncharova had a tough matchup. She dropped set one, 6-2. Goncharova answered back, taking set two, 6-2, forcing a third set. The third set was a highly contested set that went both ways, but Goncharova came up just short, losing 7-5.
