The Demon Deacons trail, 1-0, to the Texas Tech Red Raiders heading into singles play Saturday morning.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Wake Forest women's tennis team defeated No. 26 Yale, 4-0, in the first round of the 76th Annual Blue Gray Classic Friday afternoon in Montgomery, Ala. and advanced to the semifinals against No. 22 Texas Tech.
Wake Forest (5-4, 0-0 ACC) took the doubles point for the sixth-consecutive match, as the reigning ACC Doubles Team of the Week of senior Brooke Killingsworth and graduate student Marcella Cruz earned a 6-3 victory over Yale's Aggarwal/Ha. The third pairing for the Bulldogs retired and second doubles went unfinished.
They are now 5-2 as a partnership during dual play this season and had a five-match win streak until their loss Friday evening to No. 7 Sayfetdinova/Komac of Texas Tech.
In singles against the Bulldogs, senior Casie Wooten (6-4, 6-3) and freshman Sankavi Gownder (6-2, 6-0) both improved to a 4-2 in singles play this spring and are tied for the most wins on the team. Sophomore Nevena Carton earned a 6-2, 6-3 win for her third win in dual play.
The Deacs are now 5-5 all-time against Yale and 2-1 on a neutral court. They have now won three-consecutive matches against the Bulldogs dating back to 2017.
The Demon Deacons dropped the doubles point to the Red Raiders Friday night and will return for singles play tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. ET.
