DALLAS, Texas – The Texas Tech women's tennis team earned its third-straight win on Thursday evening, defeating No. 48 SMU, 4-2, at the SMU Tennis Complex.
The Lady Raiders (14-5, 6-1 Big 12) opened the match trailing, 1-0, after SMU took the doubles point with a pair of wins on the back two courts; however, after taking five of six first sets in singles, the Lady Raiders took back control of the match quickly.
It wouldn't take Tech long to even the score as Margarita Skriabina improved her overall singles record this season to 18-1, which includes a 16-0 mark in dual matches. The freshman defeated SMU's Winslow huth, 6-1, 6-4, to tie the match at one-all.
The Lady Raiders took the lead on court two, as Kaitlin Staines used a dominant third set to knock off Hadley Doyle. Staines dropped Doyle, 6-1, 4-6, 6-2 for her seventh dual win this season.
Freshman Metka Komac earned her third-straight three-set win and came up clutch again on Thursday with a victory over Nicole Petchey that put the Lady Raiders on the verge of victory. After dropping her first set, 6-0, Komac won the second, 6-4, and the third, 6-3, to lock up her win, which moved her to 11-4 overall this season.
After the Mustangs picked up a win on five to draw the score to 3-2, it was Nell Miller that clinched the match for Tech. Miller gutted out a hard-fought, 7-5, 7-6(3) victory over Chandler Carter for her second-straight win. Miller, who has won eight of her last 10 singles matches, moved to 13-4 in dual matches this season.
The Lady Raiders will be back in action on Saturday at 11 a.m., when they head to Fort Worth to face off with TCU in a nonconference match.
