Sept. 25, 2014 THE RUNDOWN
LAS VEGAS, N.V. - After four straight wins, Baylor women's tennis senior Ema Burgic fell in three sets to world No. 138 Michelle Larcher de Brito, 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(5), in the main draw round of 16 at the Red Rock Open on Thursday.

The loss ends Burgic's run at the ITF $50,000 Pro Circuit event.

With the event being a professional tournament the loss does not count towards collegiate stats, but Burgic finished 4-1 at the event after winning her way out of the qualifying draw and claiming a victory in the first round main draw action.

HIGHLIGHTS
• Burgic defeated ranked foes Jacqueline Cako (No. 514 in WTA), Hayley Carter, who is No. 3 in the ITA, Maria (No. 298 in WTA) and Gioia Barbieri (No. 181 in WTA) at the event.
