(TEN) W Tennis vs USC

Very important match, for 4th place in the SEC and crucial for hosting chances.

UF very solid in doubles and take the point.

Singles
Kessler with a straight set win to make it 2-0
Dahlstrom with a super 2nd set makes it 3-0

Zein lost her first set, down 5-6 in 2nd
Dudney 5-7 4-2...hopefully headed to a 3rd
Briggs 1-6, 6-4, 0-1
Berlin 6-2 4-6 headed to third

CANNOT blow a 3-0 lead at home, and I don't think they will.

 

Zein goes down is straight sets
Dudney wins her 2nd set, on to the third
Briggs keeps losing deuce games, down 1-3 in third
Berlin down 1-2 in third

Have to win one, don't lead in any

 

Briggs in the tank, about to go down 1-5
Berlin broken, now 1-3

Dudney is a freshman facing a 5th year grad (and 5th year starter) and fellow Brit who has been ranked as high as 20 nationally. Big test with a LOT on the line

 

Briggs down with a whimper.
Berlin showing some fight, wins 3 straight to get to 4-4
Dudney a lot of close games, but winning them....up 3-0

 

Dudney breaks Davies at love for 4-0....she's rolling now

Berlin had a break point but couldn't convert. 4-5 on serve

 

Berlin broken and loses her match....3-3 now

Fortunately Dudney still rolling, up 5-0

 

Nothing is easy, Dudney loses 2 straight, leads 5-2

 

Dudney gets it done....freshman somewhat salvages the regular season. Nothing stupid in SEC tourney and they should host a regional at least
