Virginia falls to Ohio State in decisive defeat at home

The No. 23 women's tennis team suffered its second loss of its last three matches Sunday, falling to No. 33 Ohio State 5-2. Freshman Erin Vierra and sophomore Lindsey Hardenbergh posted a win at the No. 1 spot, but teams at the No. 2 and No. 3 spots lost their matches, and the Cavaliers dropped the doubles point.

The Buckeyes got off to a fast start in singles, winning the first set of all six matches. They quickly sealed the overall win after sweeping matches in straight sets at the No. 1, No. 5 and No. 6 spots. With the match already decided, sophomore Emily Fraser managed to pull off a comeback victory at the No. 2 spot, defeating junior Paloma Escobedo 4-6, 7-6, 10-7, and Vierra knocked off senior Christina Keesey 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 at No. 3. The Cavaliers will travel to Wisconsin this week to compete in the National Team Indoors. Their next match will be Feb. 24 against William & Mary at the Boars Head Sports Club.
