LAST TIME
Despite strong performances from Eliza Omirou and Anna Brylin in singles, the No. 31 Wake Forest women's tennis team fell at No. 1 North Carolina Friday afternoon, 7-0.
- No. 30 ranked national pairing of Eliza Omirou and Carolyn Campana nearly knocked off the Tar Heels' No. 2 nationally ranked pair of Daavettila and Morra. Omirou and Campana led 5-3, needing just one more game to win the match, when it went unfinished as North Carolina picked up wins in the No. 2 and No. 3 matches to clinch the doubles point.
- In singles play, both Eliza Omirou and Anna Brylin got their afternoons off to quick starts as they each won the opening frames of their matches against nationally-ranked opponents.
- Brylin raced out to a 6-2 victory in her first frame and nearly knocked off No. 36 Graham before falling in three sets. Omirou battled to a 7-6 (7-2) first-set win, but eventually dropped the three-set match to No. 23 Morra.
NEXT UP
The Deacs are set to compete in the second round of the ACC Tournament in Rome, Ga. this week. The opponent and time will be released Sunday evening after the conclusion of the weekend's matches.
