How It Happened

The Cobras started the day off hot by winning the doubles point! A loss at first doubles didn't end up mattering as Coker logged wins at second and third doubles to secure the doubles point. Bellegy won her match at first singles to secure the second Cobra point, but losses on courts two, three, four, and six gave the Catawba Indians the SAC win.

Notables

• Bellegy has not dropped a singles match since her close loss to Wingate. Furthermore, she has won every match in straight sets
• The Cobras' three SAC losses are to the first, second, and third-ranked teams in the conference (they are situated at fourth)

Up Next
