UCF Takes Down Women's Tennis
2/15/2017 8:47:00 PM | Women's Tennis
JACKSONVILLE -Â UCF battled to grab the doubles point and never looked back as the Knights downed North Florida women's tennis, 5-2, on a brisk Wednesday evening at the UNF Tennis Courts.
QUICK HITS
- Irina Karagozishvili tied up the match at 1-1 for UNF.Â
- She paired with Michelle Valdez to also record a doubles win in the No. 3 spot.
- Sophomore Rafaela Gomez notched a two-set win against Emilia Granstrom to extend her winning streak to three matches.
SAY WHAT
"We had our chances in doubles. We went up, but weren't able to put it away so that kind of cost us the match - going down 1-0. The girls came back and fought, but it was the little details when we are up and we don't take the opportunities, while UCF did a good job staying focused to get the win. We just did not  play that well in the big points and that cost us the match." - Head Coach Mariana Cobra
