FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Junior Fuka Nonoyama showcased her ability to be one of the top individuals in the central region as she grabs the consolation title. 

Nonoyama initially dropped a first-round matchup against Mizzou's Ventura before rallying to win the final match in the consolation championship. 

All it took was one lose for Nonoyama to be eliminated from the consolation bracket, but she refused to quit after being eliminated from the main draw. She had already battled multiple opponents on her way to the semifinals, but it was the final rounds that showcased what she was made of. 

In the semifinals, she took on TCU's Pascual Montalvo and defeated her in two sets. Both sets ended in the same result as Nonoyama took both of them 6-3.

The finals wrote the same story as Nonoyama took on the Arkansas senior Lauren Alter. Nonoyama took both of the sets with a score of 6-3.

Quote from Head Coach Casey Wharton:
"I was really excited we even had the opportunity to play, I think we were the only ITA regional in the entire county. It was also exciting that we got to compete against some really good teams and have some really good results. I was really excited about everyone's attitude and effort and overall just the execution when it it matters."
