EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Margaux Guibal Britt and Stefaniya Anikina teamed up to win the A Flight final Sunday at the Ohio Valley Conference Fall Invitational.

The duo's 6-3 victory over Bryant's Natalie Vela and Maria Jose Diaz won the title and punched their tickets to San Diego, California, for the ITA Conference Masters Championship (Nov. 6-9) at the Barnes Tennis Center.

"Margaux and Stefaniya have played at a high level all fall," said SIUE Head Coach Adam Albertsen. "To take the OVC title and qualify for the Masters in San Diego will be a great experience for them to continue their strong play."

It was a big Sunday for SIUE overall as Anikina also claimed the singles B Flight with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Southeast Missouri's Mia Mayerova.  SIUE's also earned the B Flight Doubles title in an all-SIUE final. Chloe Koons teamed with Mya Bowe to defeat Aliya Rector and Paloma Hennicaux 6-3.

"This was a great showing for our team and really displayed the depth of our team," said Albertsen. "Having many Cougars face off against our team in semifinals and finals was extremely impressive."

Albertsen also noted the strong singles performance of Elena Paliouira. She advanced to the final of the A Flight, dropping her last match to Yahli Noy, of Bryant, 6-4, 6-3.

"I am impressed with our entire team," said Albertsen. "All nine players came in and picked up wins. Mya and Chloe played very sound taking the B Flight doubles championship and Stefaniya finished off her perfect weekend with a singles title over SEMO. We look forward to taking this momentum into the ITA Regionals and keep building off the success."
