Cary, NC – The 2024 ITA Women’s All-American Championship has concluded, with Maria Sholokhova (Wisconsin) claiming the singles title and Gabriella Broadfoot and Maddy Zampardo (NC State) winning the doubles championship.
In the singles final, Sholokhova faced Elza Tomase (Tennessee) in a historic match for both players. Sholokhova triumphed with a 6-3, 6-3 victory, marking the first championship appearance for both schools. Her win also made history, as she became the first Big Ten player to win the singles title since Francesca Di Lorenzo (Ohio State) did so in 2016.
Sholokhova’s path to the title included victories over highly-ranked opponents, and her achievement is even more significant because she is the first ITA All-American Singles Champion to be coached by a former All-American Singles Champion—Wisconsin Head Coach Kelcy McKenna, who won the title in 2008 while at Arizona State.
Meanwhile, in the singles consolation draw, four players competed for the final two qualifying spots in the NCAA Individual Championships. Mary Stoiana (Texas A&M), Dasha Vidmanova (Georgia), Julia Fliegner (Michigan), and Sofia Johnson (Old Dominion) fought through the feed-in consolation draw after first-round main draw eliminations. Stoiana and Vidmanova ultimately secured the two qualifying spots, earning decisive wins in Sunday’s matches.
In the doubles final, Gabriella Broadfoot and Maddy Zampardo (NC State) defeated Kimmi Hance and Elise Wagle (UCLA) 6-4, 6-4. This victory made Broadfoot and Zampardo the second NC State team to win the ITA All-American Doubles Championship in the last three years, following in the footsteps of Nell Miller and Amelia Rajecki, who claimed the title two years ago.
Broadfoot and Zampardo’s journey began in the qualifying draw, requiring them to win seven matches, including victories over six Top 50 teams, three of which were ranked in the ITA Preseason Top 20.
In the doubles consolation final, Amelia Honer and Anna-Marie Weissheim (UCSB) defeated Julia Garcia Ruiz and Chloe Noel (Oklahoma) 6-2, 6-4, to secure the consolation title. After losing their opening main draw match, Honer and Weissheim went on to win four consecutive matches to claim the championship.
