Tech’s women tennis team kicked off their fall season this past weekend in the Debbie Southern Fall Classic. The expectations of the women’s program are high given that junior Carol Lee (16), sophomore Kylie Bilchev (73) and junior Ava Hrastar (118) are all in the ITA preseason ranking.
The doubles pairings are predicted to be even better with Lee and sophomore Kate Sharabura being ranked first in the country and Hrastar and Bilchev being ranked ninth in the country.
With these lofty expectations, the team performed well in their opening weekend. In doubles, seniors Monika Dedaj and Rosie Garcis Gross won the doubles flight four title by rolling the Clemson duo of Jenna Thompson and Alexandra Anttila with a score of 8-1.
