4/18/2024 | Women's Tennis
ATHENS, Ga – The Ole Miss Women's Tennis team's run in the SEC Championship fell short after Vanderbilt defeated the Rebels, 4-2, on Thursday.
Doubles went off to a stellar start from all three courts, but ultimately fell short, giving Vanderbilt the one-point lead.
The Rebels (12-11, 5-8 SEC) kept up a tight race in singles against the Commodores (12-9, 6-7 SEC) with every court going to a forced third set, but the last two courts.
Rachel Krzyzak rallied an electric 7-5, 7-6 (7-1) victory on court six that notched the Rebels a score on the board.
An impressive finish for one of our own, Ava Hrastar, came back in a third set victory, defeating No. 12 Celia-Belle Mohr 3-6, 6-1, 6-2. This is Hrastar's second ranked win on the season, and her highest.
Three Rebels fell short on their respective courts, and one match was left unfinished after Vanderbilt clinched, 4-2.
Up next, the Rebels will wait for their postseason fate as the NCAA Selection Show is set for April 29, at 5:30 p.m. CT.
