ATHENS, Ga. – The 13th-ranked University of Georgia women's tennis team swept the Charleston Southern Buccaneers 4-0 Saturday afternoon, in the first round of the NCAA women's tennis tournament.
"It's always going to be exciting," said Georgia associate head coach Jeff Wallace. "The fact that we're here at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex at home is such a bonus and a great opportunity for us. I thought our team came out and played some really good doubles. That was a great doubles point by both teams and it was nice to get up 1-0. I really felt like our players just rolled in singles and played fantastic. We're excited to get that first one done and have a huge match tomorrow against Wake Forest. We'll be ready, I know they will and it should be an epic battle."
In doubles, Georgia (18-6) swept Charleston Southern (17-6). The duo of No. 20 Morgan Coppoc and Ania Hertel cruised to a 6-2 win over Luiza Fullana and Laura Marti, while the freshmen duo of Mell Resco and Dasha Vidmanova defeated Zoe Cauthen and Tiffany Pyritz 6-3.
In singles play the Bulldogs earned wins from No. 17 Reasco, Ania Hertel, and Meg Kowalski. Kowalski earned the first point of the day for Georgia, dominating Noa Boyd 6-0, 6-0. She was quickly followed by Hertel who cruised to a 6-1, 6-0 Amila Jusufbegovic. Reasco, the freshman, clinched the match for the Bulldogs, defeating Luiza Fullana 6-3, 6-0 at the No. 1 spot. Since assuming the top spot, Reasco is 4-0 with one match unfinished.
Up next, Georgia will face Wake Forest in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday, May 8. First serve is slated for 1 p.m.
