Women's tennis edged at Georgia State, 4-3
Saturday, February 19, 2011 ATLANTA, Ga. (Feb. 19, 2011) - Georgia State got out to a quick start by winning the doubles point and they split the six singles matches to narrowly defeat ETSU, 4-3 in women's tennis action at Piedmont Park on Saturday. Georgia State got out to the early 1-0 lead after sweeping each of the three doubles matches, but ETSU came out strong in the singles portion of the match. Andra Voinea (Brasov, Romania) tied the match up at 1-1 after she earned a quick victory over Othilia Lindqvist at the No. 6 position, 6-1, 6-0. Voinea remains tied for the team lead with four singles victories during the dual season.
The Panthers regained the lead shortly thereafter as Abigail Tere-Apisah knocked off Paula Jaime (Madrid, Spain) in the No. 2 position, 6-2, 6-4. The back and forth battle continued as ETSU picked up a win at the No. 1 position when Kelly Holtzhausen (Johannesburg, South Africa) defeated Tereza Lerova, 6-3, 7-6 (8-6).
With the match knotted up once again, the Panthers got a crucial victory from Kir Kemp at the No. 5 position as she knocked off Diana Navrostska (Lviv, Ukraine), 7-5, 6-1. With GSU needing just one point to clinch the match, Maryna Kozachenko defeated Karina Kedzo () 7-5, 6-4, to keep the Panthers undefeated on the season.
ETSU did, however, finish up the afternoon with a victory from Marine Wieliczko (Rouen, France) at the No. 3 position as she won a three set thriller over Katerina Gresova, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4. Wieliczko is tied with Voinea for the team lead with four singles wins during dual play.
