COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina went undefeated in doubles on day one of the Gamecock Shootout and junior Elise Mills upset the No. 105 singles player. The Gamecocks played in the Carolina Indoor Tennis Center, marking the team’s first competition in the new facility.
 
In doubles, the Gamecocks shined. Chloe Narboni and Kendall Couch kicked things off for the Gamecocks when they quickly topped Kathleen Jones and Dani Schoenly of Ohio State 6-2. With the win, Narboni and Couch became the first Gamecocks to win a match in the new Carolina Indoor Tennis Center.

In singles, Elise Mills took on No. 105 Isabelle Boulais of Ohio State. The South Carolina veteran efficiently won her first set 6-3, but Boulais came back to win the second set 6-2 and forced a third set.
