Ustyuzhanina wins, then bows out of tourney
Brigham Young-Hawaii's Julia Ustyuzhanina won the NCAA women's Divison II singles title at yesterday's Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Small College Championships in Ft. Myers, Fla.
Ustyuzhanina defeated Suzanna Calvante of West Florida 6-4, 6-0. Ustyuzhanina then withdrew from the singles and doubles portion of the tourney's Super Bowl, which pitted winners from NCAA Division II, Division III, NAIA and junior college.
She was leading Marta Simic of Broward Junior College 6-4, 4-2 before withdrawing because the finals of the Super Bowl are held on Sunday and it's against BYUH's policy to compete on Sunday. Ustyuzhanina and Tetyana Bula were leading Hiroko Nishikawa and Amanda Yogus of Hillsborough JC 6-0, 5-1 before dropping out.
On the men's side, BYUH's Junyoung Kim defeated Thomas Provost of Valdosta State 6-3, 6-7, 6-2 for fifth place.

Denver won the tournament at 858, followed by San Diego State at 865. Denver's Charlie Soule finished three-under-par to win the tournament at 210.
