Kansas State freshman Martaa Chogsomjav made a statement in her collegiate debut, capturing the singles championship at the Milwaukee Tennis Classic on Sunday.
Chogsomjav won six matches in four days to secure the title, finishing with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Minnesota’s Aiva Schmitz in the final. She dominated early in the tournament with straight set wins, including a 6-0, 6-1 decision in the quarterfinals.
“Incredible effort by Martaa to win this prestigious event in her first-ever competition as a Wildcat,” K-State head coach Jordan Smith said. “Winning six singles matches in four days is tough.”
Partnering with junior Margeret Jaraczewski, Chogsomjav also earned a doubles win over Purdue’s Sophya Devas and Ece Gencer 6-3. The duo went 2-2 overall.
Four Wildcats competed at the Husker Invitational in Nebraska. There were doubles wins from sophomore Zhanel Rustemova and freshman Diana Smolinska, who defeated Wichita State 6-4. Smolinska added a singles victory as well, beating Illinois’ Rosie Seccia 6-4, 6-1.
K-State’s next challenge comes on Oct. 3 at the Cyclone Invitational in Ames, Iowa.
