STANFORD, Calif.- Kristie Ahn pulled off the tournament double on Sunday afternoon, pocketing the singles and doubles titles at the NCTC Classic in Indian Wells, Calif.
Ahn collected her fourth career singles crown and second this year, having already won the USTA/ITA Northwest Regional Championships at Taube Family Tennis Stadium back in October. The Cardinal senior outlasted UCLA’s Chanelle van Nguyen 1-6, 7-5, 6-6 (10-8) in Sunday’s final after experiencing little trouble in her first three matches.
In doubles, Ahn teamed with freshman Carol Zhao on a 6-0 victory over Wake Forest’s Samantha Asch and Luisa Fernandez.
