ATHENS, Ga. (AP) Northwestern freshman Audra Cohen advanced to the NCAA women's tennis singles finals with a 6-4, 6-4 win Friday over former junior doubles partner Riza Zalameda of UCLA.<br>
<br>
On Saturday, Cohen will face freshman Zuzana Zemenova of Baylor, a 7-5, 6-4 winner over Florida's Jennifer Magley.<br>
<br>
Cohen admitted she prefers even numbers, having played her doubles match wearing No. 22.<br>
<br>
So how would she feel about being the No. 1 collegiate player?<br>
<br>
``I can make an exception for that one,'' said the third-seeded Cohen.<br>
<br>
Zemenova was unseeded and had not played a seeded player until she faced the fifth-seeded Magley.<br>
<br>
In Saturday's doubles final, one Stanford duo will earn the title.<br>
<br>
In the semifinals, Stanford's Amber Liu and Anne Yelsey defeated Northwestern's Cohen and Cristelle Grier, 6-2, 6-2. Alice Barnes and Erin Burdette beat TCU's Ana Cetnik and Story Tweedie-Yates, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.<br>
