DURHAM, N.C.- The third-ranked Duke women's tennis team improved to 11-1 overall and 2-0 in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) on Wednesday with a 6-1 victory over N.C. State (5-7) at the Ambler Tennis Stadium in Durham, N.C.
The Blue Devils jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead after taking the doubles point and never looked back. Returning to the same court together for the first time since January, fourth-ranked Amanda Johnson and Tory Zawacki cruised to an 8-1 victory over Barbara Orlay and Nandiat Chandrasekar at the top position, while Kristin Cargill and Jennifer Zika defeated Jennifer Jassawalla and Agustina Arechevaleta, 8-4, at No. 2. Duke's third tandem of Julia Smith and Saras Arasu made quick work of Virginia Romero and Danielle Stadelmann winning 8-1.
Singles action was much like the doubles as the Blue Devils got off to quick starts in all but one match and Duke went on to clinch the team victory quickly with wins by Zika, Cargill and Arasu. The best match of the day was at No. 1 singles, which had seventh-ranked Johnson going up against Orlay of N.C. State. Orlay won the first set 6-3, but Johnson battled back to win the second 6-2 and then Orlay eventually won the match, 1-0, in a third set tiebreaker.
Duke freshmen Zawacki and Parker Goyer each collected wins to finish off the match for the Blue Devils at No. 3 and No. 6, respectively. Zawacki downed Jassawalla, 6-3, 6-4, and Goyer defeated Stadleman, 6-3, 6-2. Zawacki won her 10th straight match, while Goyer improved to 2-0 in dual match action.
The victory for Duke was its 24 straight win at home and the Blue Devils will next travel to Florida State on Sunday at 12:00 p.m.
