BERKELEY – California teammates Denise Starr and Karla Popovic won in the top-flight quarterfinals Saturday at the Cal Nike Fall Invitational to reach Sunday's semifinals at the Hellman Tennis Complex.
 
In the Blue Singles flight, Popovic, a junior ranked 90th and seeded fourth in this tournament, was dominant in beating fifth-seeded Jana McCord of Saint Mary's, 6-1, 6-0, on court one at the Hellman Tennis Complex. The No. 1 seed in the singles top flight, the 62nd-ranked Starr later defeated Fresno State's Katerina Stloukalova, 7-5, 6-4, on court two.
 
Over on court three, Golden Bear sophomore Olivia Hauger – ranked 86th and seeded second – fell in an upset to Arizona State's eighth-seeded Sammi Hampton, 4-6, 6-3 6-3, to set up a semifinal between Popovic and Hampton. Starr will next play another Sun Devil in the 87th-ranked Kassidy Jump, with both semifinals scheduled for 10:15 a.m. on Sunday at Hellman.
 
The Bears had a tougher time of it in doubles, with all three Cal pairs losing in main-draw matches. The top-seeded duo of Starr and sophomore Maria Smith fell to UCLA's Jada Hart and Terri Fleming, 8-4, in one Blue semifinal, Popovic and Hauger dropped an 8-7(9) result to Arizona State's Gussie O'Sullivan and Kelly Anderson in a Blue quarterfinal, and the team of senior Stephane Lin and freshman Alexis Nelson lost to UCLA's Alaina Miller and Kristin Wiley, 8-3, in a Gold quarterfinal.
 
In the Bears' last match of the day, sophomore Maria Smith posted a strong performance in a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Nikita Pradeep of UC Davis in consolation, round-robin singles.
 
The Cal Nike Fall Invitational ends on Sunday.
