Box Score

ATHENS, Ga. – The seventh-ranked University of Georgia women's tennis team fell to No. 12 Texas A&M 7-0 Sunday afternoon, in Southeastern Conference play.

"Hats off to Texas A&M," said Georgia head coach Jeff Wallace. "They played a fantastic match today. I thought doubles was super close. We had chances on both courts one and two… We began singles highly competitive, then unfortunately things ended up not going our way. We have a lot of things we need to work on, and we have a huge match Wednesday in Atlanta."

In doubles, Georgia (10-3, 6-1 SEC) dropped two of three to Texas A&M (22-1, 8-0 SEC). The score wasn't necessarily indicative of the competitiveness as doubles came down to one court at 5-all. On court three, freshman Guillermina Grant and graduate Meg Kowalski picked up a 6-4 win over Gianna Pielet and Renee McBryde. The 47th-ranked freshmen duo of Mell Reasco and Dasha Vidmanova dropped the match 6-4 to A&M's No. 48 Carson Branstine and Mary Stoiana, while No. 12 Morgan Coppoc and Ania Hertel fell to the second-ranked Tatiana Makarova and Jayci Goldsmith 7-5.

In singles play, the Bulldogs forced three matches to three sets. No. 27 Lea Ma and No. 21 Reasco both won their first sets, cruising 6-2. Ma fell to No. 23 Carson Branstine 2-6, 6-1, 6-4, while Reasco lost to No. 29 Tatiana Makarova 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. Despite dropping their first set No. 40 Vidmanova and Coppoc rallied back to win set two, however, lost in three. Vidmanova fell to No. 94 Mary Stoiana 7-6(3), 2-6, 6-1, while Coppoc lost to Gianna Pielet 7-6(1), 2-6, 6-2.

No. 71 Kowalski and No. 117 Hertel both fell in straight sets. Kowalski dropped her match to Jayvi Goldsmith 6-4, 6-4, while Hertel was defeated by Katya Townsend 6-2, 6-3.

Next up, the Bulldogs travel to Atlanta for a mid-week battle with Georgia Tech on Wednesday, March 30 at 4 p.m.
