COLUMBIA, S.C. \u2013 Despite leading early, No. 32 Ole Miss fell, 4-3, against No. 17 South Carolina on Saturday afternoon at the Carolina Tennis Center.

\nAfter coming back from being down 3-1, the score was knotted up at 3-3, and all eyes were on court four, where Ole Miss’s Andrea Nova<\/a> was in a tightly contested match against Taylor Goetz. The two were locked into a match that turned into a marathon, with each having won a set 7-5.

\nIn the third set, Nova would get out in front 4-3 through the first seven game points. However, Goetz responded by outscoring Nova 4-1 through the next five game points to win the final set, 7-5, thwarting the Ole Miss comeback.
