Women’s Tennis Beats No. 9 Miami, 6-1

CORAL GABLES, FLA.—No. 1 North Carolina earned a 6-1 road victory over the No. 9 Miami Hurricanes in women’s tennis action on Friday at Neil Schiff Tennis Center.  
 
The Tar Heels improve to 18-0 on the season and 6-0 within league play. The Hurricanes fall to 12-2 overall and 6-2 in the conference.
 
The No.1 talented tandem of Fiona Crawley and Elizabeth Scotty shined as they put the Heels on the path to securing the doubles point, winning on court one 6-3. The senior duo of Cameron Morra and Alle Sanford would secure the doubles point on court two, winning 6-3. 
 
After a tumultuous round of first games, No. 33 freshman Carson Tanguilig held on to defeat Miami’s Maya Tahan 7-6, winning the hard-fought tiebreaker. 
 
While Tanguilig was the first win in singles,  junior Anika Yarlagadda’s victory in straight sets was the first to further the Tar Heels advantage, winning on court six 6-1 and 6-2. 
 
No. 52 Daevenia Achong of Miami would get the upset victory over No. 16 Elizabeth Scotty, winning in straight sets 6-4 and 7-5 on court two. However, Carolina would respond with Tanguilig carrying on with her momentum from her first game tiebreak victory to win 6-4, while No. 10 Reilly Tran would win a tie break of her own to clinch the match for the Tar Heels. 
 
Court four ended with a tiebreak instead of a third set with No. 34 Fiona Crawley and Carolina coming out on top, while No. 12 Cameron Morra won in three sets 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 to wrap up an almost perfect day for the Tar Heels. 
 
The Tar Heels will finish their Florida trip at Florida State on Sunday at noon.
