ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - The spring schedule officially got underway Saturday as the women's tennis team hosted day one of the UCF Invitational. The Knights were colliding with No. 46 Texas Tech and No. 71 Rice in both singles and doubles at the UCF Tennis Complex.
To start up the morning, doubles took center stage, where the Black and Gold duo of Jenna Doerfler and Courtney Griffith took care of business with an 8-1 victory over Rice's Leah Fried and Kimberly Anicete.
Following a short break, singles play opened up and one of the best matches of the day took place on the show court. After splitting the first two sets, Genevieve Lorbergs battled Texas Tech's Samantha Adams down to the wire before Adams ultimately pulled out a 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 win.
Day two of the UCF Invitational is set to begin Sunday at 10 a.m., while the third and final day will take place Monday. Admission every day is free.
