11/10/24 - Socal West Divisionals
UCSD table tennis returned to competition with the 2024 NCTTA Fall Divisionals at Santa Monica College. The club brought their Co-Ed and Women’s varsity teams, along with their JV1 team. Co-Ed had strong performances against UC Riverside and Cal Poly, winning 3-1 and 4-0 respectively. Jiaqi Wu had a particularly exciting performance against UCR, with a 3-2 win that helped the rest of her team secure victory. Co-Ed unfortunately had tougher competition later on, losing to USC, Arizona State, and UC Irvine.
The club’s women’s team had an outstanding performance, defeating every opponent in their division. They began with a close 3-2 win over UCLA, ending in a dominant doubles match victory. This was followed by two 4-0 wins over ASU and UCI, with nearly all 3-0 victories. They finished off the day with the defeat of both Cal Poly and UCR.
JV1, too, had an extraordinary win streak, with 4-0 wins over Cal Poly, ASU, and USC. Players Zongyu Huang and Pranshu Gupta had notable 3-2 victories, and the team ended their tournament run with a win against UCI.
