The pair of senior Aleska Krivopaic and sophomore Maj Premzl were the first Boilermakers to qualify for the national doubles championship since 2001.
The duo of Boilermakers matched up with a pairing from South Carolina in the first round. They came out strong and won the first set 7-6, moving a step closer to the round of 16.
The Gamecocks responded and dominated in the final two rounds, winning the final two seats 3-6 and 1-10 to end the Boilermakers season. The duo’s trip to the national championship was short but meaningful for a Purdue program who hadn’t had representation in over 20 years.
