All the matches were close, but Florida State was able to come out as the victor more often than Tech. The Seminoles were able to grab the doubles point, winning at lines #1 and #3. The #1 Tech tandem of Sasha Krupina and Elizabeth Kilborn had a convincing lead, jumping out to 5-0, but Florida State's Noemie Scharle and Federica Suess fired back, clinching the match by an 8-6 score. However, Tech's #2 pair Jillian O'Neill and Viet Ha Ngo did have an impressive win over the #47 ranked doubles team in the country, defeating FSU's Francesca Segarelli and Ruth Seaborne with an easy 8-2 win.

nice blog. would you would have like to play for the yellow jackets tennis program?
ReplyDeleteI don't follow tennis, but I do love to watch matches on television. This is a very active sport, and I love the recap you gave of the Yellow Jackets' latest match. Your article shows you are a great sports/news writer.
ReplyDelete@ D. Clemson- I would have loved to play for Tech! However, I didn't start playing competitively until age 15, so it would have been very difficult for me to make their lineup since those girls have been playing tournaments since they were 7 or 8.
ReplyDelete@ Melanie-thank you! :)
