    Georgia's Chelsey Gullickson won the Division I women's tennis singles championship Monday with a 6-3, 7-6 (7) victory over California's Jana Juricova, becoming the first NCAA women's singles championship for the Bulldogs since 1994.

    Gullickson started the season ranked second nationally, but several early losses pushed her out of the top 10. She entered the tournament ranked 12th, and when the match was finished, she had a hard time comprehending the victory.

    "I still can't believe it," Gullickson said. "When (Juricova) hit that swinging volley into the net, I just kind of sat there and said, ‘Oh, my gosh. This isn't happening.' I'm so excited. It's just so amazing."

    The doubles champions also provided redemption for winners Hilary Barte and Lindsay Burdette of Stanford. The pair finished second last year, but defeated top-seeded Natalie Pluskota and Caitlin Whoriskey of Tennessee, 7-5, 4-6, 6-0. [More]

    Barte and Burdette's doubles championship crowned the event for Stanford's women's team, which also won the team title May 25. The Cardinal beat Florida, 4-3. [More]
