South Carolina 1, Georgia 0
Singles update:
Court 1: #12 Jokic (UGA) leads #59 Gamarra Martins (SCAR) 6-1, 3-3
Court 2: #34 Berg (SCAR) leads #75 Shaffer (UGA) 6-2, 3-2
Court 3: Horvit (SCAR) leads #90 Gonzalez (UGA) 6-5
Court 4: Gould (UGA) leads Cline (SCAR) 6-4, 1-1
Court 5: Christofi (UGA) leads #113 Davies (SCAR) 6-2, 2-1
Court 6: #103 Coppoc (UGA) leads Rohrabacher (SCAR) 6-1, 5-4
South Carolina is going to need to force some third sets to make it through.
FYI, by UTR, here's how the matchups would go versus both teams, in case you're looking for a rooting interest here:
Stanford vs. South Carolina
1. Gordon by 0.62
2. Lord by 0.10
3. Lampl by 0.18
4. Arbuthnott by 0.54
5. Shin would trail by 0.05
6. Higuchi by 0.31.
So, that's three courts with a strong edge, two courts with a slight edge, and one court where we trail slightly (Shin, whose chances you'd like anyway based on recent performance).
Stanford vs. Georgia
1. Gordon by 0.18
2. Tie (both at 11.87)
3. Lampl by 0.11
4. Arbuthnott by 0.10
5. Shin by 0.06
6. Higuchi would trail by 0.09.
Stanford would have only slight edges at 4 courts, would be tied in another, and would trail slightly at Court 6 (though you bet against Higuchi at your peril).
Because it's a much clearer path to victory versus South Carolina, I'm hoping South Carolina pulls off the upset here.
As I understand it, and I'm happy to be corrected, but I believe women's tennis is a headcount sport, so all scholarship athletes are on full rides, and you're limited to 8.
Oh, and lest we forget, that victory today over Alle Sanford moved Melissa Lord to 15-0 all-time in NCAA tournament play. That's right. She has never lost a match in the NCAA tournament. That's bonkers.
