ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - The UCF women's tennis team's fall season came to an end Sunday. The Knights collected wins at all four doubles positions and Junior Andrea Yacaman walked away with her first singles victory since her off-season surgery.
Junior Alexis Rodriguez and freshman Courtney Griffith paired up at the No. 1 doubles spot and defeated Aline Berkenbrock and Melanie Aguirre of UNF, 8-5. At the No. 2, senior Jenny Frisell and redshirt freshman Genevieve Lorbergs forced a tiebreaker in their match-up against UNF's Danielle Day and Simona Weymar and came out on top, 9-8 (3).
Yacaman partnered with fellow junior Taylor Dubins and collected their third victory of the tournament when they faced Emily Lauten and Shanon Betts of Virginia Tech, 8-3. In the last doubles match, sophomore Jenna Doerfler and freshman Josephine Haraldson claimed an 8-2 win over Marlene Ryan and Natasha Phillips of FAU.
In singles, Yacaman only dropped three games in her match against Virginia Tech's Katie Blow. This was Yacaman's first singles appearance since her off-season surgery.
UCF will now enter the winter break and will get the spring season underway in Tallahassee for the FSU Quad Tournament, Jan. 15-17. The Knights' first dual-match will be against Florida A&M at home Jan. 22 at 12 p.m.
