Borr Wins on ITA Summer Circuit
July 22, 2015 | Women's Tennis
Boston College rising junior Lexi Borr claimed the title at the ITA Summer Circuit's stop at Rutgers last weekend.
Borr was the tournament's top seed, and claimed the tournament title when second-seeded Caitlin Bernard (Indiana '19) withdrew with an injury, leading 2-1 in the first set.
Borr finished the 2014-15 collegiate season as the Eagles' No. 2 singles player and teammed with graduated senior Jessica Wacnik to form the squad's No. 1 doubles tandem. Borr completed her sophomore season ranked tied for sixth in the ITA's Northeast region, first in the Northeast in doubles (with Wacnik) and 60th nationally in doubles.
The ITA Summer Circuit provides college (and junior and alumni) players the opportunity to compete in organized events virtually year round. Although the primary focus of the circuit is to provide incoming freshmen and collegiate players the chance to compete in the summer months, for NCAA compliance purposes, the events within the ITA Summer Circuit are categorized as "open"; therefore anyone is eligible to compete in these events as long as he/she is a current ITA member.
The ITA Summer Circuit is currently made up of nine regional circuits (Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Midwest, Central, Mountain, Texas, Northern California and Southern California) consisting of four consecutive open tournaments played during the month of July, leading up to the ITA/USTA National Summer Championships in Bloomington, Indiana in August.
