NC State's 19 wins ties the program record
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The No. 10 NC State women's tennis team extended its winning streak to nine matches on Sunday with a 5-2 win over No. 28 Syracuse. The victory marks the Pack's eighth ranked win of the season, as the squad boasts an 8-2 record in the category.
The Pack moves to 19-3 (9-1), tying the program record for most wins in a season, and has posted a 3-0 record on the road against ranked opponents. Syracuse drops to 11-8 (4-6).
Ninth-ranked doubles duo Anna Rogers and Alana Smith moved to 9-1 on the season against nationally ranked opponents on Sunday, and Rogers also picked up another ranked singles win against 41st-ranked Gabriela Knutson.
Liz Norman and Bianca Moldovan jumped off to a quick 3-0 lead on court one, and would be the first to finish, defeating Dina Hegab and Guzal Yusupova 6-3. Claiming their ninth ranked doubles win of the season, No. 9 Rogers and Smith captured the doubles point over No. 71 Knutson and Miranda Ramirez.
In singles, Moldovan came out firing to claim the first singles match of the day against Sofya Trescheva, 6-0, 6-2. Shortly after, No. 70 Smith took straight sets against Sofya Golubocskaya to give NC State a 3-0 advantage.
Earning her 13th ranked singles win of the season, No. 31 Rogers extended her singles winning streak to eight, clinching the match with a 7-5, 6-4 victory over No. 40 Knutson.
Amanda Rebol's 6-4, 6-2 win over Hegab on court six secured the Pack's fifth and final point on the day.
Straight from the Pack: Anna Rogers
"This weekend was a big one for us. We pulled through with some tough matches against Pittsburgh, and today we fought hard against another solid, ranked team, and ultimately came out with the win. Playing at Syracuse is very difficult, so I think us getting this match under our belt will help a lot.
"We have some big matches coming up, so we have to get back to training and preparing for what's to come. Go Pack!"
Straight from the Pack: Assistant Coach David Secker
"We earned a good, efficient win today against a tough Syracuse team. It is never an easy place to play, but we led from the start and never really let up today, which says a lot about the confidence and toughness of our team. It is always a good feeling to head home to Raleigh with two road wins."
