(TEN) W Tennis vs #2 TAMU

UF played them really tough early in the season....made me very optimistic for the season. Been up and down since, with a dismal showing vs Pepperdine last match and a drop to 24 in the rankings.
Sysoeva not in the doubles or singles lineup. Spee in at #1 doubles and #6 singles. Have to assume Sysoeva isn't healthy, no way Spee is better. Amazing how far off the map Emma Shelton has fallen, can't sniff the court.

UF blitzed at #1 doubles 6-0, but win thrillers on courts 2 and 3 to go up 1-0

Singles underway
Briggs loses a first set tiebreak
Dahlstrom loses first 6-3....4-4 in second
Dudney 4-6 2-1
Gailis cruises 6-2 6-0...nice play from her
De Oliviera moves up to 5 and gets blitzed 1 and 2
Spee down 2-6 3-4

De Olivera won at 6 last time, very possible missing Sysoeva will cost the match tonight

 

Briggs up 3-2 in second, she does battle
Dahlstrom wins her second, but down 0-2 in 3rd
Dudney 3-3 in 2nd
Spee up 6-5 in her second

Got to force and win 2 3rd sets

 

Spee loses a second set TB and her match

Briggs 5-5 in second
Dahlstrom down 3-5, likely the clincher for TAMU
Dudney forces a third but down 0-2

 

Dhalstrom goes down....3-2 TAMU. Briggs hanging tough

 

Briggs can't get over the hump, loses 6-7 6-7

Dudney was down 2 breaks in her third.

Good battle, hoping Sysoeva isn't out long

 

Agree, and surprised it hasn't happened. Wheels have been off since he ran off Balogh.
Adding the number 1 recruit next year so there is hope, will still need more help though
