It's looking grim, Okpara falls after showing some promise on 6. Yepifanova saves a match point on deciding point! She'll serve to stay in this. A glimmer of hope quickly fading.
Miami 3 Stanford 2
Glozman 6-7 7-6 1-1
Yepifanova 7-6 6-7 *4-5
Yepifanova holds!
Yepifanova 7-6 6-7 5-5*
Glozman 6-7 7-6 *1-2
THE FIGHT FROM ALEXANDRA YEPIFANOVA! So incredible to see!
Yepifanova trailed 1-5 in the third, and she's just broken for the lead! Glozman quickly follows suit, breaking to get an edge in her third set! We're staying alive here!
Yepifanova 7-6 6-7 *6-5
Glozman 6-7 7-6 *3-2
Yepifanova gets broken back, and they're off to a third set breaker.
Yepifanova quickly went down 3-0 in the breaker, but has battled back to a 5-4 lead. Nervy moments here.
YEPIFANOVA HAS DONE IT! 7-6 6-7 7-6(5).
Glozman leads 5-2, and Stanford all of the sudden in the drivers seat.
and somehow, against long odds, Stanford comes out on top against Miami. It should've been more comfortable than this and excuse my excitement over the Yepifanova comeback - what a moment for her. Glozman, Ma, Yepifanova, and Xu leading the way once more through some tough matches and it looked bleak at moments today - but they live to fight another day and get #2 North Carolina tomorrow in what will be a much sterner test. There's a part of me that wishes that we got Duke again instead of UNC, but alas.
@Colorado Tree - if you're about, I hope you don't mind my adoption of commentary which is probably much less polished than yours. Always happy to try and talk about this program.
