Laura Lopez and Marice Aguiar win doubles match to go 2-0 on the weekend
WEYMOUTH, Mass. -- The Eagles fell to Georgia Tech 6-1 on Sunday afternoon to move to 5-4 and 2-2 in the ACC, snapping a two-match win streak. The doubles team of Laura Lopez and Marice Aguiar picked up where they left off, winning their match 6-3 to go 2-0 on the weekend, yet Georgia Tech took the doubles point.Â
Sophia Edwards got the Eagles on the board in the finals singles match of the day, taking the first set 7-6 and battling back to secure the point with a 6-4 win in the third set.Â
"This was a close, hard fought match. Georgia Tech was able to step up and played well on big points," said head coach Nigel Bentley. "We had a match point to win the doubles but couldn't capitalize on that opportunity. GT is a very strong team and overall the final score is disappointing but I really like the way we competed. We are getting better."
This marks the first home loss of the season for the Eagles, who will hit the road for away matches against Duke and North Carolina on March 18 and 20.Â
