Texas A&M Drops 4-2 Result at No. 22 South Carolina
Mar 06, 2020 | Women's Tennis
COLUMBIA, S.C. – Texas A&M experienced a setback on the road, as the Aggies (12-4, 1-2 SEC) fell to the No. 22 South Carolina Gamecocks (7-4, 3-0 SEC), 4-2, Friday evening at the Carolina Tennis Center.
The Aggies started well in the doubles competition, quickly recording a pair of 6-0 victories to secure the doubles point. Jessica Anzo and Renee McBryde toppled the No. 24 ranked duo of Silvia Chinellato and Emma Shelton, while Dorthea Faa-Hviding and Lucia Quiterio routed Gabriela Martinez and Elise Mills. The ranked clash at the No. 1 doubles line went unfinished after the doubles point was clinched.
With the doubles point in hand, the Aggies entered singles play and extended the lead to 2-0 following a South Carolina default on court five. The Gamecocks stole four-of-the-five remaining first sets to gain control of the match. No. 25 Megan Davies of South Carolina registered her team's first point, defeating Jayci Goldsmith in a 6-2, 6-2 affair. Chinellato tied the match at 2-2 on court four, defeating Katya Townsend 6-1, 6-4. The Gamecocks registered the final two points of the match, as No. 92 Shelton beat No. 107 Faa-Hviding, 7-5, 6-2, immediately followed by No. 39 Mia Horvit's 7-5, 6-3 result against No. 99 Makarova.
South Carolina improves to 4-4 against the Aggies since A&M joined the SEC in 2012-13. The teams have split the series in Columbia, with each team winning two matches apiece at the Carolina Tennis Center.

Texas A&M Quotes
Head Coach Mark Weaver
On the match…
"We played lights out in the doubles and got up 1-0 very routinely. Unfortunately, it was a completely different story in singles as we simply got out played. We need to bounce back quickly and lift our level as we play Florida on Sunday."
