NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Vanderbilt women’s tennis team won both of its doubles matches on Friday at the June Stewart Invitational.
The Dores began play in singles with senior Amy Stevens matched up against Clemson’s Gaia Parravicini. Stevens opened the match with a 6-3 set one victory, but Parravicini evened the score after a 7-5 win in the second set. The Tiger used the momentum to pull away 10-5 in the tiebreaker, claiming the match. Junior Sonya Macavei faced another Clemson opponent, Annabelle Davis. After falling in the first set 6-3, Macavei returned the favor in the second with a 6-3 win. Vanderbilt fell once more in the tiebreaker, with Davis capturing the final frame 10-5.
Freshman Trinetra Vijayakumar took the court against Clemson’s Romana Cisovska. Despite going down early after a 6-1 opening set loss, Vijayakumar battled back in the next to take the second set 6-3. A back-and-forth tiebreaker again fell the way of Clemson, and Cisovska grabbed the match win with a 10-6 tiebreak victory. Freshman Sophia Webster generated the fourth tiebreaker of the day in a grueler against Candela Yecora of Clemson, suffering a 6-4, 5-7, 10-7 defeat to her Tiger opponent. Freshman Jayden Jagolinzer was the lone member of the team to pick up a singles win on Friday. The Dore fully controlled her match against Northwestern’s Autumn Rabjohns, pulling out a 7-5, 7-5 match victory.
Vanderbilt bounced back with much needed wins in doubles play. The pair of Macavei and Vijayakumar downed Northwestern’s Kiley Rabjohns and Neena Feldman 7-5. Stevens and Jagolinzer continued the Dores’ doubles success with an intraconference victory, sweeping SEC foes Elizabeth Eades and Ellie Myers of Kentucky 6-0.
