Athens, Georgia – The No. 20 Florida State women's tennis team (17-9) fell to No. 7 Georgia (22-4) 4-1 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens, Georgia on Saturday.
The Bulldogs started the match with a 6-0 win at No. 3 doubles before the nation's 17th-ranked pair of Vic Allen and Millie Bissett responded with a 6-4 win against the 14th-ranked duo of Dasha Vidmanova and Aysegul Mert at No. 1.
Anna Arkadianou and Ellie Schoppe captured the doubles point with a 7-5 win over the No. 55 Guillermina Grant and Mai Nirundorn at No. 2 to give Florida State the 1-0 lead. FSU ended Georgia's 10-match win streak of securing the doubles point, dating back to March 24th.
Georgia responded with wins at No. 5, No. 6, No. 1, and No. 2 singles to earn the 4-1 win.
Despite the loss, Florida State battled hard all day. Bissett secured a 6-4 first-set victory at No. 4 singles and Arkadianou earned a 6-3 first-set decision at No. 3.
Florida State's season has come to an end in a year with lots of memorable moments. The Seminoles finished the year with nine ranked wins, advanced to their 20th ACC semifinal, and made the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the seventh consecutive postseason appearance. Several athletes are expected to return to help Florida State be a contender once again next season.
