No. 20 Lady Vols win at Florida State

No. 20 Lady Vols tennis wins at Florida State.

No. 20 Tennessee (8-2) defeated Florida State, 4-3, on Sunday at Scott Speicher Tennis Center in Tallahassee, Florida.

“Honestly, it feels like it is late April in terms of the type of match that just happened,” Tennessee head coach Alison Ojeda said. “Going into singles the message was, ‘We have to earn every win.’ We had to be ready to play big-time tennis in big-time moments. To Florida State’s credit, they stepped up on all six courts in singles and we saw their best tennis.

“I think we won the match because, ultimately, we were disciplined in the big moments across the board. Every one of the girls on the team showed tremendous heart and desire to win at another level today. One hundred percent a team win and really proud and excited for this team.”
