ATLANTA, Ga. - The 20th-ranked Duke women's tennis team fell to seventh-ranked Georgia Tech, 4-3, on Sunday afternoon at the Bill Moore Tennis Center in Atlanta, Ga. The Blue Devils fall to 9-5 overall and 4-2 in ACC play, while the Yellow Jackets improve to 15-4 overall and 6-1 in conference action.
Duke led early after winning two of the three doubles matches. The Blue Devils' 12th-ranked duo of sophomore Melissa Mang and senior Daniela Bercek stopped Georgia Tech's top doubles team, eighth-ranked Kristi Miller and Whitney McCray, in a tight match, 9-8 (3), to secure the doubles point after the No. 2 and 3 doubles flights split earlier in the day.
The Blue Devils' number two duo of sophomore Jessi Robinson and freshman Amanda Granson fell to Alison Silverio and Amanda Craddock, 8-5, while the tandem of freshman Elizabeth Plotkin and senior Kristin Cargill posted an 8-6 victory over Kirsten Flower and Tarryn Rudman at No. 3.
The Yellow Jackets tied the match at one apiece on seventh-ranked Miller's 6-0, 6-2 win over No. 52 Daniela Bercek at the top singles spot, before Georgia Tech took a 2-1 lead on 99th-ranked Craddock's 6-3, 6-1 win over No. 106 Plotkin at the third singles line.
Tech's Silverio then defeated 59th-ranked Melissa Mang to capture a 7-6 (4), 4-6, 6-4 victory to increase the Yellow Jackets' lead to 3-1, before 44th-ranked Christy Striplin, defeated senior Tory Zawacki, 6-3, 6-1, at No. 5 to clinch the victory for Georgia Tech.
The Blue Devils finished off the match by recording wins at the Nos. 4 and 6 singles spots for the final 4-3 margin.
Duke will return home next weekend to close out its home schedule versus Miami (April 6 - 1 p.m.) and Florida State (April 7 - 11 a.m.). Both matches are set to take place at Ambler Tennis Stadium.
