TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The University of Miami women’s tennis team recorded a 5-2 win over its archrival, No. 40 Florida State, Sunday afternoon.
No. 30 Miami (7-2, 2-1 ACC) claimed the doubles point and four of the first five singles matches to defeat the Seminoles at the Scott Speicher Memorial Tennis Center, moving to 38-9 in the all-time series.
The decision marked the Hurricanes’ second road victory in the Sunshine State in as many days, following a dominant 4-0 shutout Saturday at No. 23 UCF.
“This team made a decision to work, to get uncomfortable and not to make excuses this week,” Miami head coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tews said. “We played in two tough environments with tough crowds and were able to dial in mentally and get the jobs done. One weekend is great, but a season isn’t one weekend. Back to work Tuesday.”
Miami dominated doubles play, winning all three matches over Florida State (6-5, 1-2 ACC). The first victory came from redshirt sophomore Alexa Noel and junior Isabella Pfennig, 6-2, against Anna Arkandianou and Millie Bissett.
Junior Audrey Boch-Collins and freshman Mia Mack clinched the opening point with a 6-4 triumph versus Olympe Lancelot and Ellie Schoppe.
The final match was played out, with fifth-year senior Daevenia Achong and fourth-year junior Maya Tahan logging a 6-4 decision over Vic Allen and Kianah Motosono, sealing the doubles sweep.
