Iryna Serdyuk (Jr., Boca Raton, Fla.) gained their eighth and final point first in an 8-2 win. Almost immediately following, on court No. 2,
Alexandra Johansson (Sr., Sydney, Australia) and
Alex Kaeser (So., Woodstock, Ga.) got their necessary final game to win 8-1. The third doubles point came in the top flight, as
Irina Constantinide (Jr., Galati, Romania) and
Petra Jurova (Jr., Bratislavia, Slovakia) were 8-3 winners.
Four more tallies came on the singles side. Jurova, at No. 1, shutout her opponent 6-0, 6-0. Johansson gave up just two points, each in the second set, in a 6-0, 6-2 victory at No. 3, while No. 4
Carlee Rizzolo (Jr., Livingston, N.J.) gave up just one more point in a 6-2, 6-1 win. Not to be outdone,
Bianca Roberts (Sr., Ft. Walden Beach, Fla.) notched a 6-1, 6-3 win from the fifth draw. The final two singles matches were washed away due to the return of the rain.
The Sharks look for their sweet 16th win on Saturday, also at home, with a 10:30 a.m. start against another SSC school in Rollins.
