Mary Clayton and Monica Gorny—Duke’s No. 2 doubles tandem last season—took home the doubles consolation championship at the Riviera/ITA All-American Championships in Pacific Palisades, Calif., Saturday.
The duo faced its stiffest competition in the quarterfinal round, but managed to best Vicky Brook and Lindsay Clark of Yale 9-7. The pair then cruised in the semifinals, beating Alabama’s Alex Clay and Taylor Lindsey 8-2. In the final, Clayton and Gorny defeated Nadja Gilchrist and Lilly Kimbell of Georgia 8-5 to win the consolation crown.
The Blue Devils’ likely No. 1 doubles pairing of seniors Ellah Nze and Nadine Fahoum played in the main draw of the tournament and advanced to the semifinals, where the two fell to Clemson’s Josipa Bek and Keri Wong in a tiebreaker, 9-8.
