Wilcox Leads Eagles at Harvard Fall Classic

September 24, 2019 | Women's Tennis

By: Senior captain Kylie Wilcox went a combined 4-0 to open the fall season

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Boston College women's tennis opened the fall season this past weekend at the Harvard Fall Classic against Harvard, Brown, Rhode Island, Buffalo and Boston University.

Co-captain No. 74 Kylie Wilcox went a combined 4-0 in singles and doubles to begin her senior campaign. Sophomore Laura Lopez posted a 3-0 singles record against Harvard, Brown and BU, winning two of those matches in a third set superbreaker.

Wilcox's younger sister Hailey Wilcox picked up her first collegiate singles victory and went a perfect 3-0 in doubles with Dasha Possokhova. No. 45 Yufei Long also started her second season at BC on a strong note, going 2-1 in singles with wins over Harvard and Brown.

The older Wilcox and Long, who begin the season ranked 54th in the ITA doubles rankings, lost only three games while defeating teams from Harvard and Brown on the tournament's first two days.

In other singles action, Natasha Irani went 2-1 with straight set victories over Buffalo and Brown on the weekend. Reagan Posorske also had a pair of straight set wins against URI and BU.

The Eagles return to action this weekend at the Yale Invitational (Sept. 27-29).
