February 24, 2018 | Women's Tennis
This is the third win over an Ivy League Opponent
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Boston College women's tennis team came out on top, 6-1, against local foe Harvard in Cambridge Saturday afternoon.
Â
"I thought both teams played well today", said head coach Nigel Bentley. "It was a hard fought match. The doubles point was huge. We saved some match points there and this gave us a lot of momentum heading into singles. We talk a lot about staying calm, believing in yourself and finding a way. We did a really good job executing our game plan in crunch time in doubles and in the third sets in singles."
Â
This is BC's second straight win over an Ivy League team, and its third in dual season.
Â
The Eagles started off hot after winning a close doubles point from the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, thanks to sophomore Kylie Wilcox and junior Jackie Urbinati, and senior Asiya Dair and freshman Natasha Irani, respectively.
Â
At the No. 3 and No. 4 singles, Irani and Urbinati picked up two-set wins to bring the Maroon and Gold lead to 3-0.
Â
Wilcox slated a win at the No. 2 spot, while junior Elene Tsokilauri triumphed at the No. 5 position. Freshman Loren Haukova rounded out the Eagles' points with her win at the No. 6 spot.
Â
Up next, the Eagles will travel to Providence, R.I. to challenge Brown Feb. 24 at 12:30 p.m.
