Women's tennis won a heck of a match today 4-3 against Colorado in Boulder.
Rice's Lindsey Hodge and Wendy Zhang cruised to an easy 6-1 win at #1 doubles, but Colorado salvaged the doubles point by eking out wins on the other two courts: 7-5 at #3, and 7-6 (11-9) at #2.
In singles:
- Rice won in straight sets at #6, and answered a first-set loss with two level sets at #5, to pull ahead 2-1.
- But then Colorado converted first-set tiebreaks at #3 and #4 into straight-set wins on those courts, to take a 3-2 overall lead.
- Then Lindsey Hodge at #1 singles bounced back from a first-set loss to win in three sets and even the dual match at 3-3.
- It all came down to #2 singles, where Wendy Zhang outlasted her opponent 6-7, 7-6, 7-5.
