CARY, N.C. – The California women's tennis team concluded its run at the ITA All-American Championships on Friday, with Mao Mushika and Berta Passola Folch falling in the main draw singles round of 16 and the duo of Mushika and Laura Cilekova withdrawing from its consolation doubles match at Cary Tenis Park.
 
Mushika and Passola Folch were seeking to qualify for the postseason by winning their singles matches, as reaching the quarterfinal round would have given them berths in the NCAA Singles Championships. Instead, Mushika – seeded ninth and ranked 17th – lost 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 to Stanford's fourth-seeded and sixth-ranked Valerie Glozman, while the 113th-ranked Passola Folch dropped a 7-6(4), 6-0 match to Ohio State's third-seeded and fifth-ranked Luciana Perry.
 
BERKELEY – The Golden Bears began play in their annual Cal Fall Invitational on Friday, with sophomore Greta Greco Lucchina winning twice to advance to the semifinal round of top-flight singles.
 
Playing at the Hellman Tennis Complex, Greco Lucchina defeated San Jose State's Emilija Pranyte 6-2, 6-3 in the opening round of 16 and then beat Madison Weekley of Saint Mary's 6-2, 6-2 in the quarterfinals to reach Saturday's semis. Greco Lucchina – who began last week playing in pre-qualifying singles at the ITA All-American Championships – will face the winner of the Saturday quarterfinal between Bears Sophie Hernandez and Anya Murthy. In the first round, Hernandez bested Santa Clara's TianYu Dong 7-6(3), 1-6, 6-4, while Murthy beat Sacramento State's Catherine Walker 6-7(4), 6-1, 6-0. Murthy and Hernandez face each other at 10 a.m. PT on Saturday.
 
In top-flight doubles, Greco Lucchina paired with freshman Millie Johanna Moerk to reach the quarterfinals. The Bears had a first-round bye then beat the tandem of Cal's Sophie Hernandez and Elif Gunal of Saint Mary's 8-3 in the round of 16.
 
The Cal Fall Invitational runs through Sunday.
