TALLAHASSEE– The Florida State women's tennis team (4-3) fell 4-3 against No. 20 Tennessee (8-2) in an electric atmosphere at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center on Sunday.
The Vols kicked off the match with a 6-2 win at No. 3 doubles, but the Seminoles responded with a 7-5 win at No. 2 doubles from 45th-ranked Ellie Schoppe and Maelie Monfils. Florida State secured the doubles point in an intense fashion as Vic Allen and Anna Arkadinaou won 7-6 (2) at No. 1 doubles over the nation's 29th-ranked pair to take the early 1-0 lead.
Tennessee tied the match at 1-1 as it won 6-4, 6-1 at No. 6 singles.
Florida State retook the lead as No. 47 Allen won 7-5, 6-2 against Elza Tomase at No. 2 singles to make the match 2-1 before the Vols yet again tied up at the match at 2-2 with a win at No. 3 singles.
The Seminoles continued to fight as sophomore Millie Bissett won 7-6 (5), 2-6, 6-1 against the 83rd-ranked Catherine Aulia at No. 4 singles.
Tennessee closed out the match with victories at No. 1 and No. 5 singles. Despite the loss, Florida State took the final three matches to third sets and fought hard all day.
Florida State returns to action Friday against No. 5 North Carolina at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center. Live stats and video will be available on Seminoles.com.
