UCLA's Tian wins women's singles title in straight sets

UCLA freshman Fangran Tian became the second Bruin to capture an NCAA women's singles title with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Oklahoma's Layne Sleeth on Saturday in Orlando, Florida.

The Beijing native didn't drop a set in her six tournament victories, going 12-0 in sets played. She became the first Chinese player to win an NCAA women's tennis title and the only Bruin to do so since Keri Phebus in 1995.

The Pac-12 Freshman/Newcomer of the Year, who defeated USC freshman Maddy Sieg 6-3, 6-2 in Friday's semifinal, finished her season with a 30-7 record.

Another freshman won Saturday as Georgia's Ethan Quinn rallied to defeat Michigan's Ondrej Styler 6-7 (2), 7-6 (5), 6-2 in Lake Nona, Florida, to become the third Bulldog and fourth freshman to win the men's singles crown.

The redshirt freshman from Fresno joined two-time Georgia winners Mikael Perfors (1984, 1985) and Matias Boeker (2001, 2002). He faced four match points in the second set before taking control in the third.

Quinn closed the season with 17 straight wins and a 34-10 record.

In men's doubles, Andrew Lutschaunig and James Trotter of Ohio State defeated Cleeve Harper and Eliot Spizzirri of Texas 6-4, 6-4. It was the second doubles championship for the Buckeyes, the first coming in 2012.

The Ohio State duo beat Harper and Spizzirri twice earlier in the season. Harper won the title last year with Richard Ciamarra, beating the Ohio State team of Matej Vocel and Robert Cash.

The women's doubles championship was an all-North Carolina matchup as Fiona Crawley and Carson Tanguilig defeated teammates Reese Brantmeier and Elizabeth Scott 6-1, 2-6, 119. It was the third doubles crown in program history.

Last weekend, North Carolina won its first women's team championship and Virginia defended its men's title.
