It seems fitting that doubles play helped clinch a third straight title for Team USA at the 2022 Master’U BNP Paribas Championships in Honfleur, France over the weekend.

The team format is what makes college tennis so special, and six players joined forces to lead the Americans to glory on the courts.

Team USA beat Great Britain 4-2 in the championship match to secure its ninth first-place finish over the past 10 tournaments. This year marked the first time the event was played since 2019.

The six members of Team USA were: Fiona Crawley (North Carolina), Stefan Dostanic (USC), Connnie Ma (Stanford), Ryan Seggerman (North Carolina), Patrick Maloney (Michigan) and Haley Giavara (Cal).

To advance to the finals, Team USA defeated Germany 5-2 in the opening round and host France 4-2 in the semifinals.

In the final, the teams split victories in singles. Team USA won both matches at the No. 2 spots and Great Britain swept at the No. 1 spots to knot the match 2-2

Ma earned her third straight victory with a 6-0, 6-2 win over Nadia Rawson. Crawley lost her first match this fall, falling to former Old Dominion standout Holly Hutchinson 3-6, 6-4, 10-5.

Maloney made his debut in the singles lineup and beat Tennessee’s Giles Hussey 7-6, 5-7, 10-8. Charlie Broom (Baylor) leveled the match with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Dostanic.

It came down to doubles and Team USA won both matches.

Crawley and Giavara outlasted Emily Arbuthnott (Stanford) and Hutchinson 6-3, 2-6, 17-15 in a thrilling match that gave the US a 3-2 lead

Donstanic and Seggerman clinched the victory for the second straight day, holding off Broom and Ben Jones 7-6, 6-3 to allow the Americans to lift the trophy yet again.

Team USA was led by former Boise State coach Greg Patton and current Cal women’s coach Amanda Augustus.
