Gamecocks Put Forth Strong Singles Effort on Day Two of ITA Regionals
Oct. 21, 2016
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The Carolina women’s tennis team had a solid second day of action at the ITA Carolina Regional Championships in Chapel Hill on Friday. Four Gamecocks notched wins in the opening round of the singles main draw, while one doubles tandem advanced to the quarterfinals.
Silvia Chinellato, Carolina Dailey, Brigit Folland and Ingrid Gamarra Martins all began their run in the singles bracket with a win in the first round. Dailey, Folland and Martins captured straight-set victories, while Chinellato grinded out a three-set triumph. Hadley Berg and Mia Horvit fell in their opening round matches, but both rebounded to collect a win in the consolation round of 32.
In doubles, the Gamecocks had two teams still alive in the main draw. By day’s end, there would be just one. Chinellato and Martins dropped an 8-3 decision to a tough duo from Duke in Meible Chi and Alyssa Smith. Dailey and Horvit cruised to an 8-0 victory over Luisa Fernandez and Joanna Zalweski from Wake Forest.
Saturday’s action will feature both singles and doubles play again, with matches beginning at 9 a.m.
