Raleigh, N.C. - NC State picked up its sixth win of the season with a 4-2 victory over Old Dominion (6-7) on Saturday afternoon at the Cary Tennis Center to end a four-match win streak for the Monarchs. Four Wolfpackers grabbed singles wins, including Jennifer Jassawalla who took her fifth straight victory.
With a looming threat of rain, coaches and officials opted to play the singles matches first, as opposed to the general ITA format. Play was delayed initially because of showers that rolled through before noon.
NC State (6-6) picked up its four points with wins in the middle of the line up. Kristin Lam got a solid win in the number two slot with a 6-4, 6-1 decision over ODU's Maretha Van Niekerk. Loni Worsley, who has now won seven of her last eight, put away Kerstin Endlich in straight sets with a 6-3, 6-4 win in the three-seed match.
Myrna Bawono wasted no time taking down Julia Sotiriu in the four-seed, shutting her out for a 6-0, 6-0 win. Jassawalla's win came at the five seed with a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Coraliw Herrmann.
Old Dominion got its points in the one and six-seed matches with wins by #18 Nataly Cahana and Verena Munzinger, respectively. Cahana downed Danielle Stadelmann, 6-2, 6-0, and Munzinger defeated Carmen Torres in three sets, 6-3, 4-6, 12-10.
NC State will return to action at the Cary Tennis Center on Thursday as the host of the East Carolina Pirates. Play is set to begin at 2 p.m.
