Blue Raiders win against Georgia State on Saturday
1/28/2023 4:03:00 PM | Women's Tennis
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee women's tennis defeated Georgia State 4-0 on Saturday at the Adams Tennis Complex.
HEAD COACH TAYO BAILEY-DUVALL
"We expected Georgia State to be solid team and to compete well in certain positions. Coming out with the mindset that we do not take anyone for granted. We have to fight for every match and every point. But knowing that when it is close, we have to take our time and be more consistent."
No.3 doubles Muskan Gupta/Lilly-Sophie Schmidt won their doubles match by forfeit. On court No.1, Sana Garakani/Noelle Mauro would secure the doubles point for the Blue Raiders with a 6-3 victory.
Rutuja Chaphalkar won on court No. 6 by forfeit to give MTSU a 2-0 lead. Mauro would continue her strong play today as she defeated her GSU opponent 6-3, 6-1. Schmidt clinched the match for the second match in a row for the Blue Raiders with a 6-1, 7-5 victory.
SENIOR NOELLE MAURO
"Today in doubles, Sana and I are starting to come together as a team. I think we are both able to anticipate what each other is doing on the court. That is always really good momentum going into singles coming off a win. We had to compete together as one. It was rally fun today. We had a great atmosphere here at ATC. It was a good team win."
