ATLANTA — Led by singles and doubles victories by senior Jaime Wong and freshman Kelly Anderson, the Georgia Tech women’s tennis team dropped just two sets en route to a 7-0 win over 24th-ranked South Carolina on Wednesday afternoon at the Bill Moore Tennis Center. The win was the fourth straight for the Yellow Jackets.
Anderson and Wong teamed up in doubles action to get the Jackets (7-2) going against the Gamecocks (8-2). The duo was a winner at No. 1 doubles against 30th-ranked Kathy Boyanovich and Magda Wojdylo by an 8-3 score. Tech clinched the doubles point in the match with an 8-4 win at No. 3 by the team of Mysti Morris and Lyndsay Shosho over South Carolina’s tandem of Catherine Brown and Justine Walsh.
Wong picked up her second win of the day at No. 2 singles, as she battled to defeat Boyanovich in straight sets by scores of 6-4 and 7-5. Anderson was a winner at No. 3, needing three sets to down Danielle Wiggins. After winning the first set by a 6-0 score, Anderson dropped the second set in a tiebreaker, 7-6, before rallying to win the third set by a 6-4 count.
Tech clinched the match when senior Mysti Morris won her match-up with Brown at No. 5 singles in straight sets by matching scores of 6-4, 6-4. The Jackets’ other singles winners on the day included Catherine Gunn, who defeated Jodi Kenoyer at No. 1 in straight sets by a 6-1, 6-4 score and junior Sekita Grant, who cruised past Wojdylo in straight sets at No. 4 singles by a 6-2, 6-0 score.
Rookie Kacie Anson was the Jackets’ final winner of the day, as she won her match at No. 6 singles over Justine Walsh in three sets. Anson won the first set easily by a 6-2 score, but dropped the second by the same score, before winning the third 6-0.
Georgia Tech will be back in action on Saturday, when it hosts ACC foe Wake Forest in a match that will begin at 11 a.m. at the Bill Moore Tennis Center.
