SEATTLE, Wa. – The No. 7 NC State women's tennis team earned a 4-1 victory over the No. 21 Washington Huskies Friday night from the Nordstrom Tennis Center to secure their spot in the quarterfinals of the ITA Indoor Championships.
In a rematch of last season's NCAA Championship and for the first time this season, The Wolfpack (7-0) will take on in-state foe and No. 1 ranked North Carolina (7-0) in the quarterfinals of the ITA Indoor Championships. The first serve is set for 6:30 p.m. from the Nordstrom Tennis Center.
The Wolfpack earned their first win against Washington; they were 0-2 against the Huskies heading into the night.
Starting the evening in doubles play, the two senior-freshman doubles teams secured the first point of the night for the Wolfpack. No. 9 Amelia Rajecki and Maddy Zampardo found themselves down for a moment but went on to win 6-4, finishing first on court two. On court one, Sophie Abrams and Anna Zyryanova fell 6-3, meaning it came down to court three.
Abigail Rencheli and Gabriella Broadfoot came into the night 2-1 on the season and battled to a 7-5 win to secure the doubles point for NC State heading into singles play.
The Wolfpack carried the momentum to five first-set victories to control singles play.
On court six, it was the freshman Zampardo finishing first for the first time this season as she had little trouble winning in straight sets, defeating Dariya Detkovskaya 6-1, 6-2 to put NC State 2-0.
The only loss of the night came on court four, with Abrams falling to Melissa Sakar 6-4, 6-2.
After being down three games to love, Zyryanova won eight of nine games to claim the first set 6-4. The sophomore carried that momentum in the second set, where she won 6-2 to put the Wolfpack up 3-1 and a match away from victory.
Clinching the match was none other than senior Rajecki, who took down Erika Matsuda in three sets, winning 6-2, 3-6, 6-1. The win puts her solely in fifth place on the Wolfpack's all-time career wins list with 88.
