Augusta’s Women’s Tennis Team Celebrates Thrilling 4-3 Victory Over Lander University
In a nail-biting clash that had fans on the edge of their seats, the Augusta University women’s tennis team rallied to secure a hard-fought 4-3 victory against Lander University. The exciting Peach Belt Conference match took place right in the heart of Augusta, Georgia, at the splendid Newman Tennis Center this past Tuesday.
A Rollercoaster of Matches
The match was packed with ups and downs, and it all started with doubles play. Lander University came out strong, claiming the doubles point by winning in both the No. 1 and No. 3 doubles matches. The Jaguars had a tough time at No. 1 doubles, with the duo of Andrea Gonzalez and Juliana Martinez falling behind and ultimately losing 3-6 to their Lander opponents. In the No. 3 doubles match, Camila Taborga and Giovanna Patrocinio also faced a setback, going down with a score of 5-7.
Meanwhile, the No. 2 doubles match featuring Julieta Palma and Priscilla Landi was left hanging in suspense, as it remained unfinished at a tense 5-5. With Lander taking the early lead by winning the doubles point, it was clear that Augusta had some work to do in the singles matches.
A Strong Comeback
However, the Jaguars were not about to let the early losses dampen their spirits. They bounced back impressively in the singles matches, winning a total of four out of six, which ultimately clinched the match in their favor.
One of the standout performances came from Luciana Bejarano in the No. 3 singles position. After a challenging start where she dropped the first set 5-7, Bejarano stormed back to take the next two sets, finishing with a triumphant score of 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 (7-2). Her resilience in the face of adversity showcased the team spirit and determination that Augusta is known for.
At No. 4 singles, Priscilla Landi was sailing through her match, leading with a score of 7-5, 5-4, when the match was clinched for Augusta—an outstanding effort from her as well. Camila Taborga, who had experienced a rocky start in her No. 5 singles match, made an impressive comeback winning 3-6, 6-1, 6-0. Similarly, Giovanna Patrocinio found her groove in the No. 6 position, overcoming the first set loss to secure victory with a final score of 5-7, 6-1, 6-2.
Close Matches at the Top
Despite the strong showing, Lander University did have their victories at the top positions. Andrea Gonzalez fought hard at No. 1 singles but ultimately lost in straight sets 4-6, 3-6, while Juliana Martinez at No. 2 singles also faced defeat, losing 2-6, 3-6. This split at the top and the collective effort from Augusta in the middle and lower singles spots ultimately led the team to a thrilling victory.
Looking Ahead
With this win, Augusta’s overall record improved to an impressive 13-5, while their conference record now stands at 2-2. The Jaguars will take a well-deserved break before facing Flagler College on April 17, 2025.
