DURHAM – No. 5 Duke women's tennis won its seventh consecutive match as the Blue Devils breezed to a 7-0 win over Syracuse (7-6, 1-5 ACC) on Sunday afternoon at Ambler Tennis Stadium.
Duke (10-1, 6-0 ACC) quickly dispatched the Orange in doubles to claim the opening point. The tandem of senior Margaryta Bilokin and graduate student Eliza Omirou controlled their match against Syracuse's Shiori Ito and Sofya Treshcheva from start to finish and collected a 6-0 win in the top slot. That, combined with senior Kelly Chen and sophomore Karolina Berankova's win by default on court three, gave the Blue Devils the early 1-0 lead.
