April 03, 2019 | Women's Tennis
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – No. 41 Boston College hosts a pair of ACC opponents this weekend on the Heights to close its home schedule. The Eagles face No. 27 Miami on Friday (April 5) at 2 p.m. before welcoming Pitt to the Flynn Recreation Complex on Sunday (April 7) at 11 a.m. for Jackie Urbinati's Senior Day. Live results of both matches will be available at BCEagles.com.Â
EAGLE RECAP
Competing without its No. 1 player Yufei Long, BC won both its matches by 5-2 scores last weekend to equal its win total from last season (13). The Eagles snapped Houston's six-match winning streak at home on Friday before beating Louisville on Sunday in Kentucky, improving to 3-7 in ACC competition.Â
BC dropped the doubles point to Houston but stormed back in singles with every player moving up a slot in Long's absence. Urbinati (6-1, 6-2) and Laura Lopez (6-1, 6-1) posted dominant performances in the No. 2 and 5 slots as the pair lost a total of five games. Kylie Wilcox faced Ndini Ndunda in No. 1 singles and fell in the first set 7-5, but came back to lose just three games in the final two sets. Elene Tsokilauri sealed the win for the Eagles in similar fashion, winning her final two sets 7-5, 6-2 to edge out Jovana Vukovic in the No. 4 slot.
In Louisville, the doubles point was extremely tight and came down to the No. 2 matchup as Lopez and Tsokilauri needed a tiebreaker to beat Raven Neely and Diana Wong 7-6. The Eagles stormed ahead 3-1 following another convincing pair of victories from Urbinati and Lopez in the No. 2 and 5 slots. Aleksandra Mally cut the BC lead to 3-2 with a three-set win over Tsokilauri, but Dasha Possokhova responded by losing just four games in her final two sets against Dina Chaika as the junior sealed the match.
SCOUTING MIAMI
The Hurricanes enter the weekend ranked 27th as a team by the ITA. Estela Perez-Somarriba is the second-ranked player in the nation in singles, while Miami boasts two different ranked teams in doubles: Daevenia Achong / Daniella Roldan (17th) and Achong / Perez-Somarriba (67th). Miami is 13-5 overall and 6-4 in ACC play following a pair of 6-1 conference home victories last weekend over Clemson and No. 14 Wake Forest. BC fell 6-1 to Miami on the road last season as Urbinati claimed the only point in singles.Â
SCOUTING PITT
The Panthers are winless in their last nine matches as they enter the weekend at 4-13 (0-10 ACC). Pitt has been shut out in its last five matches, including 7-0 defeats at home to No. 10 NC State and No. 2 UNC last weekend. Boston College earned a 5-2 road victory over Pittsburgh last season at the Oxford Athletic Club as Wilcox, Irani and Tsokilauri all collected singles victories. The Panthers came back to upset 10-seed BC in the first round of the ACC Tournament 4-2.Â
