    Women continue the reverse trend.....were great in doubles vs the tough opponents, now they hit the soft part of the schedule and can't buy a doubles point.
    Match moved inside, UK takes doubles and Zein loses a 3 setter at #2
    Kessler cruises at 1
    Briggs with a tough win at 3
    Dudney cruises at 4
    Dahlstrom solid at 5
    Shelton comes back to win a 3rd set super TB.....she's not playing well at all

    Men hosting LSU, just won the doubles point with wins at 2 and 3. were up 5-4 on 1

    Singles just starting. Shouldn't be overly close. Goodger gets 5 today and Shelbayh at 6

    3 singles matches done, so match is clinched
    Riffice in the bizzarro match....total control of first set, loses 7 straight games and is down 0-3 in 2nd.
    Serving and facin 3 break points to go down 0-4. Storms back to win that game, and has now won 4 straight to lead 4-3

    Shelton at 6-5 , one game away
    Goodger on serve in 2nd

    Riffice cruises in his super TB.....I have no idea what turned it around. Maybe he was blindfolded for the middle of the match
    Goodger 3-3 in his super tB

    Riffice’s opponent played unconcious tennis in the middle of the match. Sam stayed in there mentally and the LSU player came back to him in the middle of the second set. Sam has fixed his service motion and is playing very well right now. Coaching change coming at LSU in mens tennis at the end of the year.

    I was actually concerned Sam was injured or something.....like a switch turned on and off.

    Sorry to hear on the Brandi's....always liked them. A little surprised it didn't work out better.
    Hey, our women "may" have an opening end of year too
