CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The Old Dominion women's tennis team (1-1) took down Notre Dame (2-2) by a 4-2 score on Saturday morning at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center on the campus of North Carolina, as part of the 2021 ITA Kickoff Weekend.
After dropping the doubles point, the Monarchs roared back picking up victories in singles from No. 40 Holly Hutchinson (6-3, 6-1), Tatsiana Sasnouskaya (6-4, 7-5), Alesya Yakubovich (3-6, 7-6 (7-2), 6-4) and Alexandra Viktorovich (7-5, 4-6, 6-3). Hutchinson's win came over No. 109 nationally ranked Cameron Corse.
"That was awesome, especially after a tough loss to Ole Miss yesterday," ODU head coach Dominic Manilla said. "You either win or you learn and I thought we learned a lot yesterday and applied it to today's match. I'm really proud of this team."
The Tennis Monarchs will be back in action on Saturday, Jan. 30, when ODU travels to Tallahassee, Fla. to take on Florida State.
