The dual is underway!

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Brantmeier and Scotty played a near perfect match, taking down Erman and Kimoto 6-0. The service game stood out as the Orange were forced to play defense for most of the points. That clinches the doubles point for UNC due to the forfeit in No. 3 singles.

Kanapatskaya and Ito settled in a bit towards the end of the set, but Crawley and Tanguilig take care of business 6-1. With that, doubles is over and singles will begin shortly.

0-1.

0-2.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Brantmeier rolls by Kanapatskaya in a 6-1, 6-0 win. That marks the fourth consecutive singles loss for the junior.

The Tar Heels are now one singles win away from clinching the dual.

0-3.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Kozyreva struggled in just her third singles loss of the season as she fell to Yarlagadda 6-2, 6-2.

Tran takes down Ito 6-4, 6-4. Ito had chances in both sets to edge her opponent but could not quite capitalize.

0-6.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Syracuse loses its fourth consecutive match in a 6-1 defeat to No. 1 North Carolina. Having to forfeit a doubles and singles match made matters even more difficult for the Orange. However, Kimoto's upset in singles means SU avoids getting shutout.
