DAY TWO

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. - Some hardware was awarded after the completion of men's play at the 2023 PSAC Men's and Women's Individual Championships on Monday, with Mercyhurst's Danylo Rekun earning the 2023 men's singles title while the team of Gordan Mileusnic and Fabricio Sosa won a thrilling all-Edinboro championship match against teammates Bruno Sabio and Rocco Palombarini, 9-8, to become 2023 men's doubles champions.
 

Rekun defeated Edinboro's Gustavo Martins in the men's singles finals in straight sets (7-5, 6-4) to claim his title.
 
In the women's singles bracket, Mercyhurst's Kayla Dean won her semifinal against IUP's Katy Graydon (6-3, 6-2) and will face West Chester's Delaney Tingle in the final, who bested her semifinal opponent (Mercyhurst's Roisin Murphy) in three sets, 7-6, 2-6, 10-7.

Dean and Murphy, the defending women's doubles champions from a season ago, also advanced to the 2023 women's doubles final after an 8-2 victory over the Bloomsburg duo of Alexis Quackenbush and Jennifer McDonald. The pair of Mercyhurst Lakers will face IUP's Graydon and Lydia Vlachou, who advanced past Shepherd's Ximena Bolanos Tellez and Marketa Baladova, 8-3, in the semifinals.

Of note, due to players' commitments to this week's upcoming ITA National Tournament and need to travel, the women's singles and women's doubles final matches will be played at a future time and date that will be determined by the PSAC. As soon as a decision is made, the information will be distributed to the conference's various social media channels as well as on psacsports.org.
