Otis and Peresypkina Bow Out of ITA Sectional
November 07, 2025 | Women's Tennis
Cards fall in three-set heartbreaker
The University of Louisville tennis doubles pair of Alice Otis and Lika Peresypkina bowed out of the ITA South Sectional Championships in Baton Rouge, La. Â
Otis and Peresypkina fell to Bridget Stammel and Valeria Ray of Vanderbilt 4-6, 7-6 (3), 10-4.Â
The ITA South Sectional Championships is being held from Nov. 6-9 at the LSU Tennis Complex in Baton Rouge, La. The event presents an opportunity players to secure an automatic bid for the NCAA Individual Championships, slated for Nov. 18-23 in Orlando, Fla., at the USTA National Campus.
Otis and Peresypkina gained entry into the sectionals by winning their first round by default after an injury to their opponent from Austin Peay. The pair then rolled 8-2 over Saskia Soome/Yontha Tadoum from Southeast Missouri State. The Louisville pair then fell to Vanderbilt's Mia Yamakita and Erin Pearce 8-6 in a tightly contested match at the ITA Regional.Â
Only players and doubles teams who not gained entry into the NCAA Championships and have made deep runs at the ITA All-American or ITA Regional Championships will be eligible for participation. The 2025 ITA Sectional Championships will have a singles draw size of 32 and doubles draw size of 16. From this, six singles players from each section (24 total) will qualify for the NCAA Singles Championship (semifinalists, two quarterfinal playoff winners). Meanwhile, three doubles teams from each section (12 total) will qualify for the NCAA Doubles Championship through the Sectional Championships (champion, finalist, third place).
