LAS VEGAS, Nev. --- North Carolina sophomore Katrina Tsang saw her run in the 2008 Freeman Memorial Tennis Championship fall one match short, as Tsang lost to No. 51 Amanda Fink of USC, 6-2, 2-6, 6-1, in Sunday's flight one singles final. Tsang and junior Austin Smith advanced to the flight one doubles final, where they fell to Stanford's Jessica Nguyen and Whitney Deason, 8-2.
