MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University women's tennis team finished day one at the Hokie Fall Invite with a 7-3 match record between singles and doubles play.
"Overall, it was good to start a tournament and see our players in match play," said head coach Miha Lisac. "I thought we had some good things that we can build upon from doubles as well as from singles, and we have a few things to look forward to in tomorrow's matches that we want to do better."
DOUBLES RECAP
Day one of the tournament got started when three Mountaineer duos competed against Radford and Delaware.
Senior Paula Goetz and freshman Anastasiia Bovolskaia began the morning for WVU, securing an 8-6 win over Radford's Drousile Dzeubou and Malin Falk, advancing them to round two of the Brotherhood Doubles Flight. Goetz and Bovolskaia would drop their second-round match, 8-4, to VCU's Paola Exposito Diaz-Delgado and Kanako Yano.
Junior Christina Jordan and sophomore Giovanna Caputo suffered a first round loss, 8-7 (7), in a tiebreaker to Delaware's Emily Gotkiewicz and Sarah Whited. Jordan and Caputo received a bye in the first round of the consolation bracket.
Senior Abigail Rosiello and sophomore Anne-Sophie Courteau rounded out doubles play with an 8-6 victory over Delaware's Draga Sabotic and Viva Laas.
