What a match! A competitive doubles point goes our way, but after that, we just cruise in singles. 

I especially love Xu very nearly getting the clincher; but that kind of dominating performance (6-4, 5-1 when it was abandoned) is the kind of thing that’s been missing from Xu. If she’s raising her game, it makes me feel a heck of a lot more optimistic about our chances.

It’s delightfully ironic that against a team that has three really good players and then has depth drop off a bit, we got the three singles wins over exactly those players. Love it. Don’t love Blokhina dropping her second against a lesser player, but such is life. I would’ve been happy with a 4-1 win here, so I can’t really complain that we dropped a single solitary set on the way to 4-0, you know?

And yeah, A&M knocking off UNC—and by a 4-1 scoreline to boot—is crazy. That’s a different A&M team than the one we beat, what with Branstine back in the fold, but still—to go into Chapel Hill and roll over this good of a UNC team?? That is one dangerous 13 seed….

I'm glad a&m aren't on our side of the bracket.
