FRESNO, Calif.--Hawaii Pacific's Evi Roobal and Kaia Sperry are the doubles champs and Fresno Pacific's Fabiana Gonzalez Gimenez won an all-Sunbird singles final to highlight the 2026 ITA Fall West Region Championships at the Haak Tennis Center. 

Gonzalez Gimenez defeated teammate Magdalena Nunez Pureeco while the Sharks topped Menlo's Zofia Dziewiecka and Isabella Stuurman. All six players/teams in the finals have now earned a ticket to the ITA National Championships in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, November 4-8. Other players from the west region may receive at-large bids as well. 

Roobal and Sperry outlasted Menlo's tandem in a thrilling final, 3-6, 6-2, 10-8. The Shark team reached the finals of the four-day tournament with a win over FPU's Gimenez and Yumi Ueoku, while Dziewiecka and Stuurman topped Point Loma's Anna Pallencaoe and Emely Valencia Andrejava. 

Roobol, a First Team All-PacWest selection last year and Sperry are both second-year players for the Sharks. Dziewiecka was a Second Team All-PacWest singles player last year while Stuurman is a transfer from LSU-Alexandria. 

In singles, it was an all-Fresno Pacific affair in the finals.
