Hokies suffer first loss of season to Indiana

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Hokies fall in their first match of the season to the Indiana Hoosiers, 4-1. 

Tech opened the match strongly in doubles play as Mila Mulready and Linda Ziets-Segura won their match 6–2 over Indiana’s Elisabeth Dunac and Li Hsin Lin. On Court 3, Elizaveta Castillo and Laima Frosch fell to Nicole Teodosescu and Chase Boyer, 6-4. 

This left Arina Gamretkaia and Özlem Uslu to battle for the clinching point. The senior duo battled through and defeated Ale Teodosescu and Hi’ilani Williams, 7-6(3). 

In singles, four Hokies dropped two-set matches to the Hoosiers to give Indiana the dual match win. 

Uslu and Kirsten Woods were in a third set when the match was called after splitting the first two sets with their respective opponents.
