LAKELAND, Fla. – Senior Maja Issler wrapped her first ITA/NCAA South Regional tournament appearance in winning fashion on Sunday. After falling in the first round of the main draw, Issler battled her way through five matches in three days to win the singles consolation bracket, a first in Embry-Riddle women's tennis' NCAA II era.
 
Her first match of the day saw Issler take on Klara Podskubkova in the semifinal round. She dispatched the Montevallo player in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the finals. In her final match, Issler took a one-set lead against Auburn Montgomery's Ana Villalvazo, but dropped the second set 6-1. Issler bounced back from the second-set loss to win the tiebreaker 10-5 and finish as consolation bracket champion.
 
Before taking the court in singles, Issler teamed up with Laura Cuesta Bert in the quarterfinals of the doubles main draw, going against fourth-seeded Salma Djoubri and Kristin Younes of Lynn. A slow start saw Issler and Cuesta Bert fall behind 6-1, but the ERAU duo rallied to win six of the next seven games to force a tiebreaker. In the end, the Lynn pair was able to pull out the win taking the tiebreaker 8-5.
