Eagles face three of nation’s top 20 players

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The Boston College women's tennis team fell to No. 3 North Carolina, 7-0, in Sunday's ACC home match.

The Eagles (6-6, 1-3 ACC) faced three of the nation's top 20 players in No. 3 Hayley Carter, No. 4 Sara Daavettila and No. 19 Jessie Aney.

Freshmen Kylie Wilcox and Dasha Possokhova also faced Carter and Aney – the nation's third-ranked doubles team – on the No. 1 court. The rookie pair kept it close against UNC's duo, which included a 2016 NCAA singles championship semifinalist in Carter. However, Carter and Aney earned the 6-4 victory.

North Carolina advanced to 14-1, 3-0 ACC.

The Eagles will next visit Pittsburgh on March 17 at 4 p.m.
