No. 32 Wake Forest opened up the weekend with a 7-0 victory over No. 13 Georgia Tech, the highest ranked victory of the season for the Demon Deacons.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The No. 32 Wake Forest women's tennis team grabbed its highest-ranked win of the season, defeating No. 13 Georgia Tech, 7-0, on Saturday.
It marked the second ranked win of the season after defeating No. 18 UCF during ITA Kickoff Weekend.
The Demon Deacons (4-5, 0-2 ACC) got off to a hot start with a dominant doubles performance. Wake Forest closed out the first point of the match with one doubles match still playing as the No. 2 and No. 3 singles pairing clinched.
Peyton Pesavento and Anna Campana cruised to a 6-1 victory in the No. 3 match while Anna Brylin and Brooke Killingsworth finished just moments later with a 6-2 win in No. 2 doubles.
Wake Forest continued to build its lead against the Yellow Jackets (9-5, 2-1 ACC) early in singles play with wins in the No. 5 singles and No. 3 singles.
Omirou and Brylin both grabbed straight-set wins to put the Deacs one point away from their second ranked win of the season. No. 98 Omirou won first defeating Garcia Gross in the No. 5 match, 6-2, 6-1.
Brylin grabbed a ranked victory over No. 123 Cohen in dominant fashion, posting a straight-set 6-2, 6-3 win on court three.
Freshman Casie Wooten played clincher in the No. 6 match, winning another match in straight-sets. Wooten came from behind to grab a 7-5 win in the first set before claiming the straight-set win with a 6-3.
Wake Forest went on to grab two more ranked victories to help complete the sweep over the top-15 Yellow Jackets. No. 21 Carolyn Campana swept No. 13 Jones, 6-2, 7-6 (7-1).
Sophomore Anna Campana was next to finish, defeating No. 56 Flores, 3-6, 6-3, 1-0 (10-6).
Quotable
"It was just a great effort today. The team was really excited to get to play at home, outdoors and in front of friends, family and fans. That enthusiasm showed from the beginning. After a couple tough ACC matches the first two weekends, this weekend at home is an important one, and we did a great job against a top notch Georgia Tech team today. Now, we need to follow it up tomorrow against Clemson."
