XULA's Charles-Alfred and Bashir defeat UCLA in straight sets at ITA nationals
Charles-Alfred, a junior, and Bashir, a freshman, beat UCLA's 37th-ranked Abi Altick and Taylor Johnson 6-1, 6-4 to advance to Friday's consolation quarterfinals.
"We were more aggressive today," said Charles-Alfred, comparing the match to a straight-sets loss to Tennessee in the main draw Wednesday, "and I am happy to beat this team."
Bashir said, "We capitalized when we had the opportunity, finished off our points much more efficiently, and we cut down on our errors. Ultimately that was the reason we won — much better energy and execution from both of us. We hope to carry that into the next match."
For Alan Green it's the newest accomplishment in 17 stellar seasons as coach of XULA's women and men. Green ranked this victory behind Charles-Alfred and Bashir's ITA small-college national title from October and XULA's three NAIA men's team runner-up finishes in the springs of 2016, 2017 and 2019.
"We got off to a great start in the first set," Green said. "We had a bit of a focus lapse early in the second set, but we regained focus and were able to work our way back in the set. From there we played all the big points very well, and we were able to close it out on serve. We played well."
