Austin \u2013 No. 6 Texas Women’s Tennis swept No. 16 Florida, 4-0, on Thursday at the Texas Tennis Center. The win was the Longhorns’ 10th in their last 11 matches.<\/p>\n
Texas secured the doubles point with wins at Nos. 2 and 3 after Florida had won at No. 1. The Longhorns then followed with straight-sets singles victories by freshman Elizabeth Ionescu<\/a> at No. 4, freshman Mathilde Ngijol-Carr\u00e9 at No. 6, and sophomore No. 3 Carmen Herea<\/a> at No. 1 for the clinch.<\/p>\n During doubles, Florida claimed the first match at No. 1 as the No. 31 pair of sophomore Salma Drugdova<\/a> and freshman Anastasia Abbagnato<\/a> fell to No. 22 Xinyi Nong and Nikola Daubnerova, 6-2. However, Texas responded with a 6-2 win of their own by the No. 88 duo of Ionescu and freshman Christasha McNeil<\/a> over Brooke Black and Valery Gynina at No. 2. That left the deciding match at No. 3, where Herea and Ngijol-Carr\u00e9 came through with a 6-3 victory over Lucie Pawlak and India Houghton to clinch.<\/p>\n Ionescu quickly gave the Longhorns a 2-0 overall lead with her decisive 6-1, 6-1 ranked singles victory over No. 105 Pawlak at No. 4. Ngijol-Carr\u00e9 picked up a top-100 win of her own against No. 86 Daubnerova at No. 6. Just seconds later, the clinch came from Herea, who secured a 6-4, 6-3 top-80 win over No. 86 Houghton at No. 1.<\/p>\n That left three matches unfinished with sophomore No. 49 Eszter Meri<\/a> potentially two games away from a win against No. 49 Gabia Paskauska, leading 6-4, 4-2, at No. 3 when play stopped. Meanwhile, No. 12 Abbagnato produced an impressive first set against No. 68 Gynina, but was down a break in a third set, 6-1, 4-6, 1-3, at No. 2. Additionally, freshman Kate Mansfield<\/a> returned to the lineup after missing time due to an injury and\u00a0had rallied to force a third set in her match versus Nong, but was slightly behind when play halted, 2-6, 6-2, 1-2, at No. 5.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Longhorns (15-4, 10-2 SEC) will next host No. 4 Auburn on Saturday, April 4, at 12 p.m. CT.<\/p>\n #6 Texas 4, #16 Florida 0<\/p>\n Singles \u2013 Order of Finish (4,6,1) Doubles \u2013 Order of Finish (1,2,3)
