Shvets and Bryzgalova’s doubles win was key for the No. 15 Blue Devils, who took down SMU, 5-2, to open the indoor season. Trailing 5-3 and facing a couple of match points, the pair evened the match at 5-5, before trailing again, 6-5. The Duke duo came back to win, 7-4, in a tiebreaker to clinch the key doubles point.
Rabman, who made her collegiate debut for the top-ranked Tar Heels, picked up a 6-0, 6-3 win in the No. 5 singles position in UNC’s sweep of Elon, 7-0. The freshman is currently ranked 32nd in the nation.
