WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The Wake Forest women's tennis team will play fifth-ranked Duke on Wednesday afternoon in Durham. Live scoring for the match will be available here.
Wake Forest is 12-8 and 3-5 in the conference. The team ended last weekend's action with another Top Five matchup, dropping a 7-0 decision to then-fifth-ranked Miami in Coral Gables. The team experimented with some changes in the lineup. Junior Aileen Davis, who has been playing primarily doubles this season, moved into the No. 6 slot in singles for the first time in conference play. Freshman Ryann Cutillo moved up to No. 5.
Duke is 17-3 and 7-1 in the ACC. The team's only conference loss has been to Miami, and the Blue Devils enter the match with home wins over Virginia and Virginia Tech. Duke has three athletes in the ITA's Top 40, including sophomore Ellah Nze, who leads the team with a rank of 28.
Wake Forest will finish out the regular season this weekend, playing at Virginia on Saturday and Virginia Tech on Sunday.
