CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Vanderbilt women’s tennis team wrapped up day two of the Miami Spring Invite with a perfect mark in doubles play.
The Commodores kicked off doubles play against Kentucky. No. 26-ranked duo Summer Dvorak and Christina Rosca competed against Wildcat pair Alexis Merrill and Anastasia Tkachenko, who were held to zero points in a quick 6-0 Vanderbilt win.
In only her third match as an official Commodore, freshman Georgia Drummy paired with junior Emma Kurtz to take down Kentucky’s Justina Mikulskyte and Brianna Tulloch, 6-2.
Following the doubles success, the Dores entered singles play against Miami with five players winning their respective matches.
No. 15 Rosca took on Miami’s No.7-ranked Perez-Somarriba, coming out strong on the first set and defeating the two-time all American, 6-2. Continuing her momentum, Rosca held the Hurricane to just three points in the second set, earning the upset over Somarriba, 6-2, 6-3.
“I just really tried to stay focused on my game and being aggressive, which is when I play my best tennis,” Rosca said. “I played a really clean match and I’m very excited about earning the upset.”
