Rebels Fall to the Tigers, 4-1
OXFORD, Miss. – The Ole Miss Women's Tennis team grabbed the doubles point, but could not hold back LSU in singles, losing 4-1 Friday at the Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center.
The Rebels (11-11, 4-8 SEC) looked poised to earn their sixth victory in the last eight matches with a convincing doubles performance.
Senior Tea Jandric and junior Anna Vrbenska took down their opponents 6-1. That was quickly followed by juniors Cameron Kriscunas and Terka Janatova taking their match 6-2 for the point.
The No. 85 ITA-ranked duo of Alexa Bortles and Sabina Machalova were a point away from beating No. 14 Jessica Golovin and Eden Richardson when doubles was clinched.
LSU (15-9, 5-7 SEC) halted Ole Miss' momentum immediately with a sweep at first singles, tying the match at 1-1.
Courts 4, 5 and 6 each ended in two sets, falling in the Tigers' favor.
No. 74 Jandric dropped a first-set tiebreaker (7-4) but held a 5-3 lead in the second when the match finished. Vrbenska was out front 6-2, 4-5 as well.
Jandric's four-match win streak remains intact, including wins in 10 of her last 11 decisions. Despite dropping the first set, she has opened 18 of 20 matches with a 1-0 advantage this season.
Janatova has been nearly unbeatable in league play, dropping just her second SEC match this season. Her six-match win streak was also broken on Court 4.
