Florida Gators
Duke Invitational - Day 2
Gators Unshaken by Inclement Weather on Day Two at Duke
Sunday, September 14, 2014 | Women's Tennis
The Gators were forced indoors on day two of the Duke Fab Four Invitational due to inclement weather Saturday afternoon, but Florida refused to allow the rain to dampen their game.
With two singles victories apiece Saturday, Brooke Austin (Indianapolis, Ind.) and Kourtney Keegan (Roswell, Ga.) will go Gator vs. Gator in the final round of the Blue Draw Singles. Brianna Morgan (Beverly Hills, Calif.) will also play for a singles title following her defeat of Alabama's Natalia Maynetto, 6-4, 7-6 (7) and a three-set semifinal victory over Samantha Harris from Duke. Belinda Woolcock (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) advanced to the final round of the White Draw Singles where she will take on Viktoriya Lushkova of Oklahoma State.
A change in schedule due to weather leaves the doubles finals to be played on Sunday.
Head Coach Roland Thornqvist's Thoughts
“Another excellent day for us. I'm especially happy with our overall record in three set matches. We have been outstanding at end of sets and under pressure.”
“Tomorrow, however, is the day we find out who has the drive and the fitness. Tomorrow is what we train for.”
