TALLAHASSEE – The Florida State women's tennis team (6-14, 2-8 ACC) earned a 4-2 victory over Syracuse (6-11, 2-8 ACC) on Sunday afternoon at the Scott Speicher Memorial Tennis Center.
Florida State opened the match by sweeping all three doubles courts to secure the early point. Cade Cricchio and Mary Boyce Deatherage set the tone with a 6-3 win on Court 3, marking their 12th victory of the season and eighth in conference play.
Eva Shaw and Laura Putz clinched the doubles point on Court 1 with a 7-5 win, their second victory together this season, while Kristyna Lavickova and Tina Li completed the sweep with a 7-6(4) win on Court 2.
Syracuse responded with two early singles victories to take a 2-1 lead.
Lavickova battled to a 7-6(7) first-set win before cruising to a 6-1 second-set victory on Court 4 to even the match at 2-2.
After dropping the opening set, Li responded with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win on Court 3 to give Florida State a 3-2 advantage.
For the second straight match, Cricchio delivered the clincher, securing a 7-6(4), 4-6, 6-0 victory on Court 5 to seal the Seminoles' second consecutive ACC win.
