Women's Tennis Shuts Out Lamar, 7-0
Mar 21, 2018 | Women's Tennis
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M women's tennis team swept the three doubles matches and won all six singles matches in straight sets to shut out Lamar, 7-0, today at the sunshine-filled George P. Mitchell Tennis Center.
It was the Aggies' third consecutive win as they improve to 13-4, including 10-1 in home matches. Lamar, in the midst of a five-match road swing, suffered its third straight loss and drops to 3-11.
Texas A&M swept the three doubles matches, with freshmen Iulia Ivascu and Tatiana Makarova quickly giving the Aggies the early edge. The duo opened the match by winning five consecutive games en route to a 6-1 victory over Kaela Di Giulio and Milena Belianovich at the No. 2 line.
The freshman pair of Dorthea Faa-Hviding and Riley McQuaid soon followed, winning four consecutive games to close out a 6-2 win over Sanja Jolic and Natalia Molina at No. 3 to clinch the doubles point for the Aggies.
The remaining doubles match was played out to its entirety. A&M seniors Domenica Gonzalez and Eva Paalma had jumped out to a 4-0 lead against Jasmine Buchta and Amelie Vossgaetter at the No. 1 line, but the next five games would be determined by a no-ad point before the Aggie tandem completed the sweep with a 6-3 victory.
Gonzalez was first off in singles after opening her match at the No. 1 line by winning 10 consecutive games before Jolic got on the board. Gonzalez went on to win, 6-0, 6-1, to improve to 13-1 in dual matches and give the Aggies a 2-0 lead against the Cardinals.
Faa-Hviding won her third consecutive match and put the Maroon and White ahead, 3-0, with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Molina at No. 5. Senior Macarena Olivares then clinched the team victory, closing out her match by winning the last eight games in a 6-3, 6-0 victory against Buchta at No. 2 to give the Aggies a 4-0 lead.
Makarova posted a 6-3, 6-1 win over Di Giulio at No. 4, and Paalma also kept the Cardinals off the scoreboard as she finished off Vossgaetter, 6-4, 6-2, at No. 3 to put A&M ahead, 6-0.
Ivascu completed the shutout, winning the final three games against Belianovich to record a 6-1, 7-5 victory at No. 6.
A&M continues its six-match homestand and returns to Southeastern Conference play on Friday as the Aggies play host to 40th-ranked LSU at the Mitchell Tennis Center. First serve is slated for 5 p.m., and the first 100 fans will receive free popcorn.
General admission to all regular-season men's and women's home matches is free.

Texas A&M Postmatch Quotes:
Head Coach Mark Weaver
On today's match…
"Well done by the ladies today. We came out in the doubles, we wanted to work on some things and improve in some areas, and I think we definitely made some good adjustments and some good improvements in the doubles. The singles, we played good as well. We were able to win them all in straight sets and definitely took care of business. This was a great midweek match with the SEC schedule this weekend; it is just one match with LSU so we feel like this is great preparation. We were able to work on some things, and being able to do that in a competitive match like today, no doubt we are better for it. We made some improvements, and we just continue on with our momentum here, and we look for a good showing on Friday evening with LSU."
