In singles, Vadlamudi took down her opponent from Boston College in straight sets 6-4, 6-1. In her matchup against Harvard, she dropped the first set 6-1 but came back to win the second 6-2 and force a tiebreak. The newcomer ultimately won the tiebreak 1-0 (6) to complete her undefeated weekend.
Winning at least one singles match in straight sets this weekend were senior Erica Di Battista, junior Victoria Carlsten and freshman Emily Zhao. Grad student Shelly Yaloz also notched a singles win against her Boston College opponent.
Five of BU's wins on the weekend were earned in doubles play. Yaloz and junior Kaitlin Tan, as well as Carlsten and Vadlamudi, took down opponents from BC 6-4 and 6-1, respectively. Sophomore Michelle Kleynerman and Di Battista, sophomore Nina Gulbransen and Zhao, and sophomore Sydney Sharma and Tan all defeated their Harvard opponents.
