ABILENE, Texas – The Aggies made their presence felt on day one of the ACU Invite as several Aggies found success in both doubles and singles action.
 
To start the day, the newly formed duo of Lisa Zhu and Valeriia Ivanovskaia, who paired up for the first time during the Aggie Invite earlier in the year, earned their first win as a tandem. Zhu and Ivanovskaia highlighted the Aggies' morning with a pair of victories over former WAC teams as they defeated ACU's Olivia Sears and Maria Cascos before taking down Noelia Lorca and Elsa Boisson of Tarleton. With the two wins, Zhu and Ivanovskaia will meet up with Texas Tech's Andreea Lila and Jermine Sherif in the finals of the Flight A doubles draw at 9 a.m. on Saturday morning.
 
In singles action, four different Aggies earned a win to start their run in the ACU Invite. In the early session, Anna Pinaieva got things started with a 7-5, 6-2 win over Vittoria Baccino of UTSA. Simultaneously, the Aggies' Lisa Zhu collected a win over Tarleton's Noelia Lorca while Natsuki Nishimura claimed a victory over Magda Tuells of UTSA.
 
Of the three Aggies to compete during the 1 p.m. hour, Dora Kurdi emerged as the only victor – earning a dominant 6-2, 6-1 victory over Abilene Christian's Hebe Toyos.
