CHALOTTESVILLE, Va. - In day two of the ITA National Team Indoor Championships, the 18th-ranked Husky women's tennis team suffered a similar result as day one, falling 4-0 to 19th-ranked Arkansas at the Boar's Head Sports Club. The match was closer than the final score, as UW was up a set at courts two and three and on serve in the third.
The Razorbacks took the doubles point with wins at the second and third doubles positions. The ninth-ranked duo of Denise Dy and Venise Chan remained undefeated on the year, taking out 37th-ranked Anouk Tigu and Claudine Paulson, 8-5, at the No. 1 doubles spot. But Arkansas clinched at No. 3, as Frampton and Starkova won the last three games to defeat Andjela Nemcevic and Aleksandra Krsljanin, 8-5.
Arkansas then earned straight set victories at fourth, fifth, and sixth singles to end the match early. Chan had won her first set at No. 2 singles over Kate Lukomskaya, 7-5, and junior Samantha Smith had earned a 6-2 first set win over Claudine Paulson at third singles. Dy was locked in a battle with 16th-ranked Tigu at No. 1 singles, serving down 5-6 to take the first set into a tiebreak when the match was ended.
Washington will try not to leave the tournament empty-handed tomorrow when they face Georgia Tech at 4:30 p.m. Pacific time.
