Seminoles Start Strong.
Seminoles finish in the top halves of five draws.
FURMAN, SC - The fall season for the Florida State women's tennis team started off on a good note as six ladies competed at the Furman Fall Classic this past weekend.
"I was very pleased with the effort the ladies put forth this weekend," head coach Jennifer Hyde said. "We stressed last week that we needed to go into this tournament and compete at a very high level and I thought that we delivered."
Sophomore Daneika Borthwick made a strong debut as a Seminole as she went on to defeat No. 18 Brynn Boren of Tennessee in three sets, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 in the first round of Flight One singles. Borthwick would fall to Gina Suarez-Malaguti of North Carolina in the second round, 6-1, 6-5 before winning the third place match against Lauren Kline of Furman, 6-3, 6-0.
"I was proud of Daneika," Hyde said. "She defeated a Top 20 opponent in her first-ever college match."
In flight four, sophomore Mia Vriens recorded three victories in order to secure the championship for the draw. She began the tournament by defeating Kelly Sullivan from Furman 6-1, 2-6, 6-0. In round two, she knocked off Natalia Maynetto of Alabama, 6-2, 7-6 (6) before winning the final match against Yui Lynn Mio of Clemson, 6-1, 6-3.
"It was good for Mia to win her flight this weekend," Hyde said. "She went undefeated this weekend by playing some solid tennis."
Sophomore Leyla Erkan battled to the final match of the fifth flight of singles, but fell to Romy Koelzer of Clemson, 7-5, 6-4 to take second place. In the first round, Erkan defeated Joanna Henderson of Tennessee 7-5, 6-0 before adding another win against Alex Moreno of Furman 6-3, 6-3.
Seniors Amy Sargeant and Francesca Segarelli finished fifth and sixth, respectively in their draws.
"Amy and Fran played some great tennis this weekend," Hyde said. "They competed unbelievably well."
In doubles place, Vriens and Borthwick teamed up to take third place in the second flight, while Sargeant and Segarelli finished in fourth.
"I feel like we found out some specific things that we need to work on individually," Hyde said. "This also gave us a look what we have to be excited about for the rest of the fall season and into the spring. We had a very successful weekend and we're just going to build off of that as we head into the Rivera/All-American event."

Noles Drop First Match.
The No. 36 Florida State women's tennis team fell to the 15th ranked Baylor Bears today at the ITA Kick-off Weekend.
WACO, TX - The No. 36 Florida State women's tennis team suffered its first loss of the season (2-1) as they fell to the 15th ranked Baylor 4-1 on Saturday at the Hurd Tennis Center during the ITA Kick-off Weekend.
"Even though we came up short today I was still impressed with the way the girls competed," head coach Jennifer Hyde said. "It makes a big difference playing shorthanded - it's not an excuse, but regardless, the girls played hard. It was a tight match and we had opportunities in different spots, but we were on the wrong side of things today."
With only five players eligible to compete, the Seminoles fielded a pair of doubles teams. However, Ema Burgic and Victoria Kisialeva of Baylor defeated sophomores Mia Vriens and Daneika Borthwick 8-4 on court one.
That lone loss secured the doubles point for the Bears, giving them a 1-0 lead. Junior Kristina Schleich and senior Francesca Segarelli played on court two against Alex Leatu and Megan Horter, but their match was halted with Segarelli and Schleich in front 7-5 just one point away from sealing the match at 40-0.
After defaulting court six to the Bears in singles, junior Krisitina Schleich fell 6-2, 6-4 on court five to Leatu, leaving the Seminoles down 3-0.
No. 100 Amy Sargeant put Florida State on the board with a 6-2, 6-4 victory against Kiah Generette on court four.
Shortly after Sargeant's win, 37th ranked Borthwick fell to No. 16 Burgic on court one 6-3, 6-2 giving the Bears a 4-1 win.
Just as the match was stopped, No. 48 Vriens was leading on court two against Horter 6-3, 5-4 while No. 73 Segarelli was in in a battle on court three against Jordaan Sanford. Sanford won the first set 6-4, however Segarelli was about to tie the second 4-4 when the match was called.
"Even though we lost today and won't be playing for a spot at the final site, this team still has a lot to play for tomorrow," Hyde said. "We have another opportunity against a ranked opponent, and another chance to get better. Tomorrow's match is of equal importance, and I know this team will be ready."

Segarelli Seals Win for Seminoles.
Senior Francesca Segarelli pulled away in the third set to clinch the match against No. 29 Rice at the ITA Kick-off Weekend in Waco, Texas.
WACO, TX - After dropping a tough 4-1 loss on Saturday, the No. 36 Florida State women's tennis team rallied to win four singles matches in order to defeat 29th ranked Rice 4-2 on Sunday in the consolation of the ITA-Kick-off Weekend. With their first win over a ranked opponent, the Seminoles move to 3-1 on the year.
"I'm so proud of our team and their efforts today," head coach Jennifer Hyde said. "The conditions today were not great, and we did a great job of using them to our benefit. We fought hard across the board and I'm glad to see us get a good win under our belt."
With the score 3-2 and two matches still in play, No. 73 Francesca Segarelli was behind the fourth and clinching point for the Seminoles as she wore down her opponent Katie Gater on court three in the third set (5-7, 7-6 (5), (6-1).
"I just stepped up," Segarelli said. "I know what it feels like to lose a set 7-6 and it's tough to get back and I took advantage of that. I saw that Kerrie (Cartwright) was in a battle too, and I knew I needed to put the team on my back. Knowing that Kerrie was there was my motivation and I knew I couldn't put all of the pressure on her. I knew there weren't any excuses, and this match was mine."
Segarelli dropped her first set 7-5, before fighting off elimination in the second with Gater in front 6-5. Segarelli went back on serve to tie the set at 6.
"I was really confident in my serve," Segarelli said. "It was a very straight forward game and I closed it out easy. The tie break was intense. We were tied at five and then I double-faulted, but then she double-faulted. After that I looked at Oliver (Foreman) and I thought 'I got this' and that's how the momentum changed."
After storming back to take the second set 7-6 (7-5) she put her foot on the gas and dominated the third 6-1.
"Franny had a battle in her match." Hyde said. "I'm so proud to see a senior rise up on that occasion and clinch for us. She dropped a tight first set and then went punch -for -punch in the second, winning it in a tie breaker. In her third set, she just stepped up and sealed the win by taking it 6-1. It's what you expect out of your leader."
Starting off the day, the Seminoles dropped the doubles point, falling behind 1-0.
On court one, sophomores Daneika Borthwick and Mia Vriens fell to the 56th ranked pair of Natalie Beazant and Dominique Harmath 8-4, giving Rice the slight edge in the doubles decision.
Florida State would even the score with a victory on court three behind the racquets of Seagrelli and junior Kristina Schleich as they beat Solomiya Zinko and Kimberly Anciete, 8-3.
But the Owls closed out a tight race on court two as Stephanie Nguyen and Gater defeated senior Amy Sargeant and sophomore Kerrie Cartwright 8-6.
Moving on to singles, the Seminoles wouldn't be in the hole for long as No. 100 Sargeant dominated on court four, defeating Anciete 6-0, 6-1, evening the match 1-1.
"After dropping three first sets in singles, Sargie absolutely dominated in her match," Hyde said. "That point was huge as it quickly tied the score and gave us momentum."
Sargeant was the lone Seminole to contribute a pair of singles wins this weekend.
On court six, Schleich put the Garnet and Gold up 2-1 with a convincing win over Daniela Triago, 6-4, 6-1 with four tight matches still in play.
No. 37 Borthwick defeated her sixth ranked opponent on the year in No. 50 Beazant 6-4, 6-3 on court one just before No. 48 Vriens fell on court two to Harmath, 6-4, 6-4.
"Daneika played another solid match today," Hyde said. "It was a convincing straight- set win against a player who finished last season ranked 15th in the nation."
At this point in the match, both Segarelli and Cartwright were the only two matches still in action as both players came back to force third sets, with the Seminoles in front 3-2.
In her Seminole debut on court five, Cartwright fell 6-3 in the first set before owning the second set 6-2 against Zinko. Cartwright's third set was played in dramatic fashion as it saw five ties and four lead changes before it was stopped at 5-5 due to Segarelli capping the match at four.
"Kerrie did a great job after losing her first set to take a quick second in order to force a third set," Hyde said. "She didn't get a chance to finish her match, but it made a huge difference in the outcome just by her playing a third set. It was a good first match for her and I can't wait to see what she has this season."

Seminoles Double Up to Defeat Georgia State.
After capturing the doubles point, the No. 27 ranked Florida State women's tennis team used the momentum and defeated Georgia State today, 5-2.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - The No. 27 ranked Florida State women's tennis team defeated No. 61 ranked Georgia State, 5-2 at the Indoor Tennis Facility today. The Seminoles move to 5-1 on the year, while the Panthers fell to 3-4.
"Today was a good day," head coach Jennifer Hyde said. "We knew that Georgia State was going have a good team. They competed very hard, just like we thought they would."
Starting off with doubles, senior Amy Sargeant and sophomore Mia Vriens controlled their match on court two against Maryna Kozachenko and Whitney Bryd, winning with a score of 8-1.
With the edge in doubles, the Seminoles had to work from behind in the both matches left in play.
Facing their second ranked opponent in three matches, sophomore Daneika Borthwick and junior Kerrie Cartwright battled the No. 32 Abigail Tere-Apisah and Masa Grgan on court one.
Looking to break being down 6-5, Borthwick and Cartwright fell behind 7-5 before closing the gap to 7-6. Their fight fell short as Tere-Apisah and Grgan closed out the match on serve to win 8-6.
Facing a 7-5 deficit in what would be the deciding doubles match, senior Francesca Segarelli and Kristina Schleich pulled to within a game to 8-7 to Jocelyn Ffriend and Linn Timmerman once the dual on court one ended.
Segarelli served to tie the match at eight, before pulling away in the tie break, 7-3 to take the match (9-8) and the 1-0 lead heading into singles.
"After being down two match points, we did a really good job of getting that doubles point," Hyde said. "We fought our way back into that and I thought it made a tremendous difference. Doubles is getting better. We were challenged today and I think we needed to be in that situation where we had to win the doubles point with our backs against the wall."
In singles the Seminoles got out to four first set wins.
"The bottom of the lineup today just dominated," Hyde said. "They just destroyed their competition. To get up four first sets as quickly as we did speaks a lot about this team and the amount of depth we have in the lineup this year."
After trailing 3-2 in the first set, Sargeant won the next ten games and defeated Timmermann, 6-3, 6-0 on court four. Sargeant's victory put the Seminoles up 2-0.
Schleich made it 3-0 after delivering a 6-3, 6-1 win against Ffriend on court six.
On court five, Cartwright controlled her first set against Chaimaa Roudami before falling in a 2-0 hole in the second. Cartwright buckled down and conquered her next six games in order to clinch the match for FSU. She won 6-2, 6-2.
Georgia State chipped into the Florida State win with two points, claiming the first after Vriens retired her match on court two.
On court one, No. 28 ranked Tere-Apisah outlasted No. 35 Borthwick making the score 4-2. Borthwick suffered her second loss of the spring, 6-3, 6-4.
Fighting to keep her winning streak alive, Segarelli was pushed to a third set by Byrd on court three.
Segarelli pulled away in the tiebreak, taking the match 6-2, 4-6, 10-7.
Both Segarelli and Sargeant extended their singles winning streaks to nine matches, becoming the first team to do so since 1999. Marina Raic and Kia Asberg strung together 15 wins during the spring season.
"One thing about this team is that they compete unbelievably well," Hyde said. "That is going to be the tone for this team - competing hard and never taking a competitive opportunity for granted."

Borthwick Lifts FSU to 4-3 Upset Over Miami.
The No.25 ranked Florida State women's tennis team upset No. 11 Miami, 4-3 today in Coral Gables, Fla.
CORAL GABELS, Fla. - For the fifth time in school history, the No. 25 ranked Florida State women's tennis team defeated Miami. The 4-3 win over the Hurricanes is the first since 2008 and is the first over a top 25 team this season. The Seminoles move to 8-1 on the year and 1-0 to open up ACC play.
"I cannot say enough about this team and how they competed today," head coach Jennifer Hyde said. "I think winning this match, and how it was won, says so much about these girls. Every court was battle out there, and they played today like a Championship team. They were composed, poised, competitive, and they just were not going to be denied. You could feel up and down the six courts how much this team wanted to win, and they had the will."
Lifting the Seminoles to victory was sophomore Daneika Borthwick as she came back to defeat Kelsey Laurente 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (3) in a three set tiebreaker.
After losing the doubles point, FSU came back and won four singles matches in order to pull out the victory.
On court five, junior Kerrie Cartwright won her fifth match on the year as she defeated No. 105 Clementina Riobueno on court five 6-4, 6-2, tying the score 1-1. It was her first win over a ranked player in singles this season.
Vriens (No. 95) fell to Steffi Wagner on court three, 6-3, 6-2 before Miami took a 3-1 edge after Deborah Suarez defeated Schleich on court six, 6-4, 6-3.
With three matches still in play and the Hurricanes on the cusp of clinching the match, Segarelli (No. 91) delivered a dose of momentum with a victory on court two. She beat Monique Albuquerque in three sets, 6-2, 2-6, 6-2, cutting the Miami lead to 3-2.
After splitting her first two sets with Melissa Bolivar, Sargeant climbed out of a 3-2 hole in her first three-set match of the spring. Sargeant fought back and won 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 evening the score 3-3, leaving the deciding match on court one.
Segarelli and Sargeant both extend their winning streaks to 11. They join the lone Seminole with an 11-match winning streak, Patti Henderson. Henderson accomplished the feat back in 1984.
"I'm so happy for our seniors," Hyde said. "This is the first time we have beaten Miami during their four years. This match was a goal set by those two months ago, and seeing that come to fruition for those two was priceless."
At this point in the match, No. 35 ranked Borthwick was up 1-0 against No. 52 Laurente. However, Borthwick fell behind 5-2 and faced two match points before coming back in the next two games to close the gap to 5-4.
Facing defeat, Borthwick broke Laurente's serve in order to stay alive with the score tied 5-5. Both ladies would hold their serves, forcing a tiebreaker to decide the match.
"This was Daneika's first time in this situation," Hyde said. "With the score tied 3-3 and the final point falling on her shoulders. She pulled herself out of a huge 2-5, 15-40 deficit in the third set. She battled like a champ to get back into the match and how she responded with her back against the wall was impressive."
Borthwick wore down Laurente, controlling the tiebreak 7-3 giving the Seminoles their first win over the Hurricanes in four seasons. The Cumbria, England native is now 7-3 when facing a ranked opponent.
"I can't say enough about how the entire team left their souls out there on court today," Hyde said. "As a coach, that's all you want to see. I could not be more proud of these young ladies."

No. 16 Women's Tennis Falls To 23rd-Ranked Clemson.
Sargeant improves to 19-3 with straight set win in second ACC match.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - The 16th-ranked Seminole women's tennis team dropped a closely contested ACC match to 23rd-ranked Clemson Friday at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center. After taking the doubles point, the Seminoles and Tigers were 2-2 with the match in play on the final three courts. Clemson went up 3-2 leaving FSU needing to win the final two matches to get the victory. Frances Segarelli forced her opponent to a third set but Kerrie Cartwright dropped a tie breaker in the second set 8-6 to give the Tigers the win. The victory moved Clemson to 4-4 on the year and 2-0 in the ACC while FSU fell to 8-2 and 1-1 in conference.
"We definitely got behind quickly in a couple of singles matches," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "It felt like from the very beginning of singles we were scraping just to stay in there. Clemson did a great job today. We knew they were a great team. We knew their ranking didn't represent the type of team they are. They didn't disappoint. They did a great job. They played well today.
"I am frustrated because I didn't think we were prepared today the way we needed to be and I think that falls on me. I am going to make sure that doesn't happen again this semester with this team. We are too good to not have great practices every time we step on court and I think that was part of the result today. I don't feel like we got them ready and I'll take the lumps on that one."
FSU senior Amy Sargeant kept the Seminoles in contention early on with a straight set victory on court four to even the match at 2-2 and take back the momentum Clemson built at the start of singles. After a 6-4 opening set win, the senior from Birmingham, England fell behind Clemson's Romy Koelzer in set two before roaring back and taking the second seat and the match 7-6 (7-2). The win moved Sargeant to 19-3. She is 2-0 in ACC play now and a perfect 7-0 playing on court four.
"Sarge is coming into her own," said Hyde. "She is an absolute warrior out there right now. She is feeling very confident. She is more fit and faster than she's been since she has been in college. She has worked herself to be a lean machine out there. I am so happy for her. She continues to see more and more success."
Mia Vriens, playing on court two where she was 3-1 this season, was in contention to pull off the biggest upset of the day facing Liz Jeukeng who was ranked 89 spots above the sophomore. Vriens got off to a quick start taking the first set 6-4 before dropping the second set 6-1. Vriens pushed the nation's 29th-ranked player but in the end fell 6-3 in the deciding set.
"Mia did a good job out there," said Hyde. "She is playing a girl that is 29th in the country. Her opponent was just a little too good on the day today."
The afternoon started off very well for FSU but set the tone for how closely contested the rest of the day was going to be as the Seminoles won a hard fought doubles point. All three doubles matches went to the wire but in the end it was Daneika Borthwick and Cartwright who were the last pair on the courts and clinched the point with an 8-6 victory moving to 3-2 on the year. Segarelli and Kristina Schleich, who are now 6-2, won their match by the same score as FSU, which trailed 1-0 after the first match, pulled out the final two to secure the point.
"Fran and Kristi moved up to the No. 1 spot today (in doubles) and played like I would expect from two upper classmen," said Hyde. "They did a great job. They played with a ton of energy and it was really good to see them get the doubles there and for us to clinch it too."

Gators Get Past `Noles.
The No. 16 ranked Florida State women's tennis team fell 4-0 to No. 5 Florida.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Despite the 4-0 loss, the No. 16 Florida State women's tennis team was right there with the fifth-ranked Florida Gators today at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center. The Seminoles move to 8-3 on the year while the Gators are 7-2.
"I didn't think we started off competing as hard as we needed to," head coach Jennifer Hyde said. "Towards the end of the match, we started competing when we needed to. We needed to come out of the shoots more confident and trusting of our game a little more."
In doubles, sophomore Mia Vriens and senior Amy Sargeant dominated in their match against Olivia Janowicz and Danielle Collins on court three, winning by a score of 8-1.
Although the Seminoles had the momentum, it wouldn't be enough to secure the doubles point as the other two courts were working from major deficits.
Francesca Segarelli and Kristina Schleich fell on court one to Alexandra Cercone and Soife Oyen, 8-2.
On court two, sophomore Daneika Borthwick and Kerrie Cartwright battled every point, however they fell to the No. 57-ranked pair of Briana Morgan and Lauren Embree, 8-2.
In singles, Oyen (No. 11) was too much for Borthwick (No. 37) on court two, as she fell 6-0, 6-1.
Four of the seven games played in the first set for Vriens (No. 118) were decided with long, extra points, none of which fell in her favor. Vriens dropped her match to the top-ranked Embree on court one, 6-1, 6-1.
At this point in the contest, Florida State was up in two of the four matches left in play, while trailing 3-0.
In both sets, Sargeant went out in front before surrendering the lead to Cercone (No. 53) on court three. Sargeant lost her first match of the spring, 6-4, 6-3 as the Gators took the match 4-0.
The three remaining matches went unfinished once Florida captured the fourth point.
After being down 4-1 in the first set on court six, Schleich won the next nine games, setting herself up to take the match against Carolina Hitimana 6-4, 5-2. She was up 30-15 right as the match was called.
On court four, Segarelli worked out of a 1-3 deficit against Morgan to go up 4-3. Segarelli was up a break, before the match was tied 5-5. She would go on to take a grueling first set, 7-5. The match was halted with Segarelli up 2-0 in the second.
"In years past Florida killed us," Segarelli said. "This year, we were right there with them. I'm leaving this court okay, I don't feel defeated. Hopefully, we'll see them again at nationals."
Cartwright quickly fell behind in her first set against Janowicz (No. 109) 6-1. However, she battled back putting herself in a position to win the second set, but the match was called with Cartwright ahead 5-4.
"Three through six were super tight today," Hyde said. "Fran and Kristina were in complete control of their matches. The level was pretty solid. It's tough but with a team like Florida, you have to be better in a few different spots in order to win."

"The girls did a good job taking care of business today," head coach Jennifer Hyde said. "We expect to battle every time we step on court, and I thought we had some good, tight matches in a few spots. That's exactly what we needed heading in to the weekend after not competing for the last 12 days."
The Demon Deacons forfeited the doubles match on court three, giving the Seminoles the edge for the point.
On court two, sophomore Daneika Borthwick and junior Kerrie Cartwright rallied from a 2-3 hole to win the next five games building a 7-3 lead. Borthwick closed out the match on serve, defeating Karen Forman and Xue Zhang 8-4.

The Seminoles were able to bounce back from an upsetting, 4-2 loss at Boston College on Friday.
"We hit a small bump in the road on Friday," Hyde said. "Today, this team responded very well to that loss. They came out and dominated the match from start to finish. This sport will always provide so many opportunities for lessons to be learned, and there's no doubt that this is team is better now than we were before the loss on Friday. It was a wakeup call, and it got our attention, and this team is better for it."

Tar Heels Get By `Noles, 5-2.
The No.30 Florida State women's tennis team fell to top-ranked North Carolina today, 5-2.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - The No.30-ranked Florida State women's tennis team dropped its final home match of the 2013 season to top-ranked North Carolina, 5-2 today at the Indoor Tennis Facility. With two dual matches remaining in the spring, the Seminoles are 12-7 (4-5) on the year.
"I'm proud of how we competed today," head coach Jennifer Hyde said. "I was very inspired with the effort and the attitudes up and down the court. I was very happy with our level of play. We're walking out of here with our heads held high, playing against a very good North Carolina team. We had the opportunities in the match to pull off the upset, but what's important is that we continue to play better tennis as the year goes on."
In doubles, senior Amy Sargeant and sophomore Mia Vriens won their eighth-consecutive match after defeating Ashley Dai and Zoe DeBryucker. Sargeant and Vriens went up a break at 3-2 and held the edge throughout the match before Vriens served out the dual for the 8-6 win.
Clinching the 1-0 advantage for the `Noles was senior Francesca Segarelli and sophomore Daneika Borthwick on court one. Segarelli and Borthwick picked up their first victory as a pair this spring over the No.52-ranked duo of Whitney Dai and Caroline Price, 8-4.
The match on court three was halted after Florida State won the point. Juniors Kristina Schleich and Kerrie Cartwright trailed 6-4 to Gina Suarez-Malaguti and Tessa Lyons when play was called.
"We're playing some of the best doubles in years," Hyde said. "We've found a couple different combinations that are working and we're playing more offensive minded. That is one area that we've progress tremendously. We're playing aggressive and confident and it makes a big difference playing with the kind of schedule that we have."
In singles, North Carolina evened the score 1-1 after Lauren McHale defeated Kerrie Cartwright on court five, 6-4, 6-0.
On court one, Segarelli was shut out of the first set by seventh-ranked Suarez-Malaguli but bounced in the second. Segarelli fell behind a break at 4-3, but could not overtake Suarez as she lost, 6-0, 7-5.
After falling into a 4-1 hole in the second set, Vriens charged back to take the lead 6-5 on court three. But (No.34) Kay tied it at six before pulling away in the tiebreaker to take the match. Vriens fell 6-1, 7-6.
Sargeant closed the gap TO 3-2 with a three-set victory on court four. Sargeant is now 25-6 on the year in singles after defeating (No.42) Price, 6-4, 1-6, 6-4. It was also her highest ranked win of her career.
"She had a little bit of a mental let down in the second set," Hyde said. "But she dialed in and found a way to get it done in the third. That girl she played hasn't lost a dual match all season, so that speaks highly about her effort today."
With two courts left in play, the Seminoles faced a 3-2 deficit.
On court six, Schleich was able to fight back to win the second set, but could not keep the momentum going as Lyons took control of the decisive third. Schleich lost 6-4, 4-6, 6-0.

Moving on to singles, the Seminoles were able to steal the momentum from the Hokies after taking five-of-six first set wins.
“The girls took control of the match right from the start of singles,” Hyde said. “The focus and intensity was there. We knew that we had to take advantage of the opportunity to get better and I think we did that even though we split the weekend.”
Vriens quickly erased the 1-0 deficit as she dominated her match on court three against Martinez-Marcos 6-0, 6-3.
“Mia showed some guts today,” Hyde said. “She played through some adversity today and was able to get off court quickly.”

“I was pleased with how we came out today,” head coach Jennifer Hyde said. “After getting the doubles point, we did a good job of jumping out in front to quick and early leads in singles, especially on courts four, five and six.”
In singles, the Seminoles got out to five-of-six first set wins, showing their dominance in the bottom half of the lineup. On courts four through six, Florida State gave up four games in the first set between three players.

“The goal for today was to get those early leads,” Hyde said. “We wanted to take the wind out of their sails early and we were successful with that.”
The two matches left in play were on courts one and six.
On court one, Borthwick (No.57) won a tight first set, 6-4, before finding herself tied 4-4 with Talbert (No.110) in the second when the match was called. Schleich was battling on court six with a slight 3-2 edge in the second after winning the first 6-3.

“We competed well today,” Hyde said. “We have to prepare for a tough Clemson team. In March, we had a really good, tight match with them and I know it’s going to be a redemption day for us. The girls are excited to get out there and they’re ready to keep working towards that championship.”

`Noles Persevere in Stunning Upset Over Clemson.
For the first time since 2001, the Florida State women's tennis team defeated Clemson 4-3.
CARY, N.C. – In a match that saw just over five hours of grueling tennis, the No.30-ranked Florida State women’s tennis team shocked No.11 Clemson with a 4-3 upset in the quarterfinals of the ACC Championships. With the win, the Seminoles (15-7) grab their ninth all-time victory over the Tigers and first since 2001.
“Today was a total team effort,” head coach Jennifer Hyde said. “Championships like this require you to show up for four straight days and we’ve play two very solid days of tennis. Everyone has done a great job of taking care of their courts.”
The deciding dual of the match was on court two between Francesca Segarelli (No.96) and Liz Jeukeng (No.26).
After dropping the first set in a tiebreak, Segarelli quickly fell behind 3-0 in the second. Settling in, Segarelli used her serve to chip into the lead before taking over the lead at 5-4. Segarelli forced a third set after she defended her serve.
In the third, Segarelli looked as if she was going to put away the match quickly after jumping out to a 3-0 lead, however Jeukeng broke two big serves, tying the set 3-3.
On serve, Segarelli was forced into a deuce to decide the point. With the advantage, Segarelli maneuvered during the rally in order to get Jeukeng to lob a short shot in the middle of the court. Segarelli forcefully put the point away with swing down the middle, going up 4-3.
“Today I was really confident,”Segarelli said. “I was down 4-1 in the second set and I was worried a little bit, but then all of a sudden it clicked. I didn’t think about anything, my game kept coming and it came to a point in the third set I thought I was playing well and if she was going to beat me, she would have to work.”
Jeukeng would tie the dual again 4-4 after her serve before Segarelli went back up 5-4 after holding hers.
Segarelli broke serve, taking the match 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, advancing the Seminoles into their fifth ACC Semifinal in six seasons.
“For Fran to clinch the match as a senior and for Amy to play with such dominance is so storybook for them,” Hyde said. “She played a very good freshman player who has had a ton of success this season. Fran wanted that day today. We’ve never beat Clemson and now that monkey is off our back.”
“It’s a feeling you can’t even describe,” Segarelli said. “I did it for the girls, but I knew that Coach Hyde has never beat Clemson in her career and that motivated me. I wanted to give her that as a present before I left and God gave me the opportunity to be the last one on court and I was able to do it. It was amazing.”
Starting off the day with doubles, Segarelli and Daneika Borthwick dropped their match on court one to Yana Koroleva and Beatrice Gumulya, 8-2.
On court two, Mia Vriens and Amy Sargeant got out to a commanding 6-1 lead over Romy Koelzer and Tristen Dewar, however the Tigers battled back to tie the match 7-7. Vriens and Sargeant buckled down and closed out the last two games, winning by a score of 9-7, leaving the deciding match to court three.
“Mia and Amy did a great job of jumping out to a big lead,” Hyde said. “They had a little bit of a mental lapse on their court, but they stepped up and got it done.”
Kristina Schleich and Kerrie Cartwright went down a break early at 4-2 and teetered back and forth for most of the match. After Cartwright served to pull within one at 7-6, the Seminoles found their break at the right time to knot the dual 7-7. On serve, Schleich put the pair up 8-7, but they could not close out the match as the Clemson team of Ani Miao and Jeukeng forced a tiebreak.
Cartwright and Schleich pulled away in the tiebreak 7-2, stealing the doubles point for the Seminoles.
“It was great getting that doubles point,” Hyde said. “The entire match at number three, we did a phenomenal job of hanging in there and we found a way to get a big break. That was tremendous effort by Kristina and Kerrie.”
Moving on to singles, Sargeant made it 2-0 after dominating on victory on court four. She earned her 27th win on the year against Miao, 6-2, 6-1.
“Amy was awesome,” Hyde said. “She got that second point so quickly for us. She played controlled and solid tennis.”
Within the matter of minutes, Clemson tied the match 2-2 with a pair of wins from courts one and three.
After dropping the first set 6-1, Borthwick (No.57) fought back in the second to win a close, 6-4 decision against Koroleva (No.15). However, Koroleva pulled through in the third defeating Borthwick 6-1, 4-6, 6-1.
On court three, Vriens fell in a tiebreak in the first before Gumulaya (No.38) took the second and the match 7-6, 6-3.
Clemson went ahead 3-2 after Cartwright lost on court five. She fell to Koelzar in a grueling, 7-6, 7-5 battle.
With duals on courts two in six left in play, the Seminoles captured a pair of second set victories in order to propel them into decisive third sets.
On court six, Schleich fell into a 5-0 early hole before losing the first, 6-1. Reloading at the break, Schleich got out in front in the second, holding on to a break before Dewar tied the match 5-5. Schleich outlasted Dewar in the second, taking it 7-5.
In the third, Schleich wore down Dewar and tied the match 3-3 with a 1-6, 7-5, 6-2 win.
“Kristina got down big early,” Hyde said. “But she turned it around in the second set and committed herself to playing solid tennis. She’s hitting the ball so well right now and she’s working the court perfectly and playing her game. The way she was able to dig her way out and fight in her match was impressive.”
Segarelli put FSU into its sixth all-time ACC Semifinal with her three-set triumph over Jeunkeng. Segarelli’s upset over the No.26-ranked player tied her season highest upset over a ranked opponent.
“I’m so proud of our effort,” Hyde said. “They left everything out on the court today. At an event like this, that’s the only way you’re going to win. We’re going to enjoy this one, but we’re going to have to do it again all over against a very good Virginia team tomorrow.”

Sargeant's Comeback Lifts FSU to Third-Ever ACC Final.
After falling behind 4-1 in the third set, senior Amy Sargeant stormed back to win the match and a berth in the ACC Finals.
CARY, NC - Behind another 4-3 upsetting win, the Florida State women's tennis team is heading to its third ACC Championship Final in school history. The 30th-ranked Seminoles (16-8) defeated No.11- ranked Virginia just one week after falling to the Cavaliers in Charlottesville, Va. 4-0.
Florida State advances to take on fourth-seeded (No.10) Miami.
"What a day," head coach Jennifer Hyde said. "The amount of heart and guts that we are showing through every match out there is unbelievably inspiring. You can't ever count this team out."
In the first set, Sargeant got out in front before surrendering the lead 5-4 against Li Xi. Sargeant did not trail for long, as she grabbed the next two games, going up 6-5, but Xi forced a first-set tiebreaker by tying the match 6-6.
In tiebreak, Xi was no challenge for Sargeant as she cruised to a 7-2 win, securing the first set 7-6.
Sargeant contested in the second set evenly with Xi, before Xi went up a break and held on to win 6-4, forcing a decisive third.
"I knew that it wasn't going to be easy," Sargeant said. "It was going to come down to me and Kerrie (Cartwright). The girl I was playing started to step up and I knew it wasn't going to be easy."
In the third, Sargeant held serve getting out to a 1-0 edge. However, Xi appeared to put Sargeant away after winning the next four games behind long, intense rallies.
With Sargeant facing a 1-4 hole in the deciding dual, she quickly used her serve to spark a three-game charge to tie the set 4-4.
"Even at 4-1 down I knew that it was a matter of just believing in myself," Sargeant said. "I just needed to hang in there and it was such a high level of tennis that I knew who ever stepped up was going to win."
Xi stopped Sargeant's streak by breaking serve going ahead 5-4, however Sargeant returned the favor, tying it once again 5-5.
"I knew I needed to take control and be the one to dictate the points first." Sargeant added.
On serve, Sargeant looked to put the game away with ease, but a few mistakes and good plays by Xi forced the game to deuce. After two stalemates, Sargeant took advantage and put one of Xi's shots away down the middle to go ahead 6-5.
"I kept telling myself, `you're almost there, one more point' and looking into coach's eyes telling her I got this. I knew that in moments like this you give it your all or nothing at all and know that Kerrie just won it gave me a boost to do this for the team."
Sargeant closed out the match with four quick points for her 28th win on the year, 7-6, 4-6, 7-5.
"I'm usually the first one off court," Sargeant said. "So this is a rare occasion for me. But knowing that it came down to me during the Duke match this season and I couldn't pull through, I wasn't going to let this moment pass me by."
In doubles, Florida State grabbed the edge with a convincing 8-1 victory on court two as Mia Vriens and Sargeant defeated Hana Tomljanovic and Julia Elbaba.
Virginia answered on court one as Daneika Borthwick and Francesca Segarelli fell to Stephanie Nauta and Erin Vierra 8-3, leaving the deciding match to court three.
Similar to Friday's match, Kerrie Cartwright and Kristina Schleich fell down a break early, however they tied the match 4-4. The Virginia pair of Xi and Maria Fuccillio won the next three games, taking the lead 7-4.
However, Schleich and Cartwright refused to quit and pulled to within one at 7-6, fighting off a match point in the process.
Looking to break to stay alive, Schleich and Cartwright fended off two more match points but could not pull out the task as the Cavaliers won the match 8-6, capturing the doubles point.
In singles, the Seminoles were able to gain some momentum back after taking four key first set wins in singles, including two in tiebreaking fashion.
Schleich tied the match 1-1 after a controlling 6-0, 6-3 victory on court six against Caryssa Peretz.
"Kristina absolutely dismantled her opponent today after struggling with her a week ago," Hyde said.
Virginia answered by adding two points with wins on courts one and two. Borthwick (No.57) fell to Elbaba (No.12 ) 6-1, 6-4 one court one while Segarelli (No. 96)lost her match to Nauta (No.73) on court two, 6-4, 6-2.
With the Seminoles down 3-1, the four remaining matches all had the edge with first set wins.
Vriens was locked in a battle with Tomljanovic on court three. Vriens teetered with the first set lead before Tomljanovic went ahead 5-4. Vriens knotted it at 5-5, before serving to take the lead 6-5. Once again, Tomlijanovic tied the set, forcing a tiebreak.
In the tiebreaker, Vriens and Tomljanovic traded leads multiple times, before Vriens closed it out 7-4.
In the second, Vriens fought off a heated Tomljanovic to take the match 7-6, 6-4 pulling the `Noles to within one at 3-2 with courts four and five left in play.
"I don't have enough to say about Mia," Hyde said. "She is playing with sheer will right now. She stepped up in such a big way today. She's doing this for the team and I have so much respect for what she is putting out there right now."
On court five, Cartwright got out to a 6-3 first set win over Vierra before dropping the second in a tight 6-4 decision.
In the third, Cartwright took the lead early and wore down Vierra in order to go up a break at 5-3. Vierra made it 5-4 before Cartwright concluded the match on serve, winning 6-3, 4-6, 6-4.
"Kerrie's match was toe-to-toe," Hyde said. "It was an absolute dogfight. She stayed calm and cool and stuck to a game plan and got through a tough match for her and this team."
Playing next to Sargeant, Cartwright finished her match once Sargeant was down 4-3 in the third.
The Seminoles are 1-2 all-time against the Hurricanes in the ACC Tournament. This will be the first time the two teams have met in the final.
Earlier this season, the Seminoles pulled off an upset in Coral Gables over then No.11-ranked Miami, 4-3 for just the fifth time in FSU history.
"We've got three days behind us now," Hyde said. "We've got one more to go. We'll enjoy this, but we've got one more day on our radar and we're going to be ready to go against Miami."

CARY, NC -In its third-ever ACC Championship final, the Florida State women's tennis team fell to Miami (No. 10) in a hard-fought, 4-1 decision. After the tournament, the Seminoles move to 16-9 on the year after defeating Wake Forest as well as upsetting a pair of top 15 teams in the country in Clemson (No.11) and Virginia (No. 13) en route to the championship.
"We fought so hard," head coach Jennifer Hyde said. "We gave so much heart this weekend and we gave ourselves a shot today, but I can't say enough about these ladies. They battled and hung in there but just fell a little short today."
Play opened up at 11 a.m. at the Cary Tennis Park before weather forced the match to be moved indoors to the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center on the campus of the University of North Carolina.
The Seminoles lost the doubles point after courts one and two dropped their matches.
Mia Vriens and Amy Sargeant fell behind early to Melissa Bolivar and Kelsey Laurente and could not find their break. Bolivar and Laurente won 8-5 on court two.
On court one, Francesca Segarelli and Daneika Borthwick played a tight match with Clementina Riobueno and Monique Albuquerque.
Tied 4-4, Segarelli and Borthwick could not serve to go ahead, resulting in Miami taking the next three games.

Kerrie Cartwright and Kristina Schleich were ahead 7-5 and about to win the match when doubles was stopped.
Miami made it 2-0 when Cartwright fell on five. After leading for most of the first set, Cartwright surrendered her lead to Albuquerque and could not hold her off for the rest of the match. Cartwright fell on court five, 6-4, 6-1.
The Seminoles found some momentum from an absolute thrashing on court four from Sargeant. Right from first serve, Sargeant was on her game as she defeated Riobueno, 6-2, 6-1.

"I'm proud of this team," Hyde said. "I'm proud of our seniors - Amy and Fran. They stepped up big for us this weekend. Now, we'll take a few days and recharge the batteries and get ready for NCAA's."

FSU Falls in First Round to Memphis.
The No. 21-ranked Florida State women's tennis team's lost its first round NCAA Tournament match to Memphis, 4-1.
TUSCALOOSA, AL – The No.21-ranked Florida State women’s tennis team fell in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to No.33 Memphis, 4-1.
Due to inclement weather, play was moved indoors to the Roberta Alison Baumgarder Tennis Facility at the University of Alabama.
“That’s a tough way to end the season,” head coach Jennifer Hyde said. “I thought we’d be a little bit better, but credit Memphis. They played like hunters today. That team did a great job up and down the line today.”
The match started off with the doubles point up for grabs as all three matches were evenly paired.
On court three, junior Kristina Schleich and Kerrie Cartwright jumped out to a 3-1 lead over (No.64) Stefanie Mikesz and Caroline Wegner before surrendering the next four games. Schleich and Cartwright buckled down and created a rally of their own to take back the lead at 6-5. But, Mikesz and Wegner closed out the match on a streak of their own, taking the match 8-6.
At this point both matches on courts one and two were very tight. Amy Sargeant and Mia Vriens were holding on to a 7-6 lead, while Francesca Segarelli and Daneika Borthwick were down 7-5.
On court one, Segarelli and Borthwick took on Tiffany Welcher and Alyssa Hibbard. After falling behind a break early, Segarelli and Borthwick came back to take the lead 4-3. The pair would hold that break before Memphis went ahead 6-5. The Tigers added another game, just as the match on court three wrapped up.
Segarelli and Borthwick held off one match point and looked to stay alive, however Hibbard and Welcher took the game and the double point with an 8-5 victory.
The match on court two was halted just as Mia Vriens and Amy Sargeant went ahead 8-7 over (No.77) Kelly Gray and Courtney Collins.
“When things got tight in doubles, Memphis stepped up,” Hyde said. “We always talked about playing those tight points big and we didn’t do that today.”
Memphis held the momentum going into singles as the Seminoles won two of the six first sets.
“Losing the doubles point really affected us today,” Hyde said. “It hasn’t been a factor all season but today it hurt us."
The Tigers went ahead 2-0 after Skylar Kuykendall defeated Vriens on court three, 6-0, 6-1.
Moments later, the Seminoles cut into the Tiger lead after (No.120) Sargeant posted a dominating win on court four against Liza Tymchenko,6-0, 6-1. With that victory, Sargeant became the fifth woman in FSU history to win 30 singles matches in a single season. The Birmingham, England native closed out her senior year with a singles record of 30-5, ranking her fourth in all-time singles wins in a season.
“It was my senior year so I had to go out there and give it my all,” Sargeant said. “It’s been a great season for me and the girls and making the ACC final two out of my four years was a dream come true. Not too many teams can do that."
The Tigers had a response for Sargeant’s punch as Borthwick (No.62) fell on court one to Collins (No.55) 6-3, 6-2.
Just one court over on two, Segarelli was in a second set 5-1 hole when the Tigers went up 3-1.
After dropping a close 6-4 first set to Welcher, Segarelli could not find her groove as Welcher clinched the match for the Tigers, 6-4, 6-1.
Play was stopped after Memphis won the match. Cartwright outlasted Wegner 7-6 in the first set and was down a break when play was called on court five. Schleich fell in her first set 7-5 before jumping out to a 2-0 lead on court six when play stopped.
The Seminoles finish the season with a 16-10 record and a seventh-consecutive NCAA appearance.
“We fought off adversity all year this season,” Hyde said. “We have no reason to hang our heads. We’ve made the ACC Championship final two out of the last three years and that’s a difficult thing to do. We had some big wins and we’ve made improvements across the board. There are a lot of bright things to look forward to for next season.”
