Seminoles Finish Strong On Day One at Debbie Southern Fall Classic.
The Noles take three singles matches to three sets.
GREENVILLE, SC - The Florida State women's tennis team began their 2017 season Friday at the Debbie Southern Fall Classic hosted by Furman.
"We were very happy to see how our girls competed today," said assistant coach Jaime Sanchez-Canamares Rios. "The first day of competition and first matches are always tough and the girls did a fantastic job."
The duo of sophomore Andrea Garcia and freshman Petra Hule fell in their first doubles match 8-5, but came back to take down their second opponent of the day 8-1. The pair defeated Danielle Wolf and Andrea Ballinger of Ohio State.
"Petra and Andrea had a great win today against the Ohio State team of Danielle Wolf and Andrea Ballinger," said Sanchez-Canamares Rios. "They played at a high level of tennis and they performed extremely well. Same for Gabby (Goldin) and Lucie (Prochazkova). They defeated a Vanderbilt team playing very well on key moments and showed a lot of confidence, which is great because that's our goal during these tournaments."
Sophomore Gabrielle Goldin and freshman Lucie Prochazkova were defeated in a heartbreaker of a first match, 8-7(6), to Texas Longhorns Chelsea Crovettie and Katie Poluta. The freshman and sophomore duo were able to win their second match of the day as they took down Lauren Gish and Payton Robinette of Vanderbilt, 8-6.
"We were proud coaches today watching them competing," said Sanchez-Canamares Rios. "Our freshmen Lucie and Petra did incredible in their first matches wearing the garnet and gold. Lucie won a very competitive match in 3 sets while Petra showed her potential against a great Tennessee player."
Sophomore Ariana Rahmanparast and partner sophomore Nandini Das fell to their opponents in both of their doubles matches. They fell 8-2 to Emily Smith and Fermanda Contreras of Vanderbilt and 8-6 to Katty Weymouth and Danni Vines of Furman.
In singles play, Das fell in the first set 6-3 to Tea Jandric of Ole Miss. However, she came back in the second set to win 6-3, but fell in the final set 6-0. Prochazkova defeated Aryn Greene of Furman in her first collegiate singles match, 4-6, 6-4, 7-5. Hule was not as fortunate as her fellow freshman, as she lost in a three setter to Johanna Silva of Texas, 6-7, 7-5, 6-2.
Garcia was able to take her match to three sets after she fell behind 7-5 to Emily Smith of Vanderbilt. Garcia won the second set 6-4 to force the fourth, three set match of the day for the Seminoles, but could not take the third as she lost it 6-3.
"Andrea and Nandini lost in 3 sets in their matches," said Sanchez-Canamares Rios. "However, the learning and confidence they got from today will help them for the next days."
Rahmanparast and Goldin finished off singles play for the garnet and gold with two wins. Rahmanparast took down Andrea Ballinger of Ohio State in straight sets, 6-4, 7-6(6), while Goldin defeated Courtney Meredith of Wake Forest 7-5, 6-3.
"It was a joy to watch (Gabby) Goldin compete
and play," said Sanchez-Canamares Rios. "Her passion and commitment is incredible and we could not be happier for her win today."

September 24, 2017
GREENVILLE, SC - The Florida State women's tennis team wrapped up play at the Debbie Southern Fall Classic on Sunday three more wins.
"Overall we were happy with how the girls performed this weekend during their first fall event," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "It was great to get back in to a competition mindset, and gauge exactly where we are at this point in the season. It was great to get the bulk of the team together for a road trip and time together after the long summer break. We definitely missed the three others who were back in Tallahassee, but will have lots of trips together coming up."
Freshman Petra Hule won her match against Danielle Wolf of Ohio State in a close one. Hule lost set one 3-6 but fought back in set two in three to win 7-5, 7-6(6). Freshman Lucie Prochazkova earned third due to a default.
"Petra (Hule) finished off today in woo fashion," said Hyde. "She had a very tough three set match where she was down 2-5 in the third set. She saved two match points at 4-5 to even the score at 5-5. Then, in the third set tie breaker, she was down 3-6 (3 more match points down), and won 5 straight points to win the tiebreaker and the match. That kind of fight is what being a Seminole is all about."
Sophomore Gabby Goldin took on Cameron Kriscunas of Ole Miss in her third place match. Goldin took lost the first set 6-7(2), but came back in dominate fashion defeating Kriscunas 6-4, 6-1 in the final two sets.
"Same goes for GG (Gabby Goldin)," said Hyde. "She fought her way through a very tough three set match, coming out on top. I'm glad she was able to finish off the weekend in a high note."
Junior Ariana Rahmanparast took on Danni Ruiz of Clemson in the final of her bracket. Rahmanparast came out strong taking the first set 6-1. Ruiz did what Hule and Godlin did and made a two set comeback winning sets two and three, 6-2, 6-2. Rahmanparast took second in her draw.
"Ari was playing for her flight championship, and came up just short in yet another three set match," said Hyde. "She played some solid tennis this weekend."
Sophomore Nandini Das fell short in her match for fifth place as Amanda Meyer from Vanderbilt defeated her 7-6, 6-2. Andrea Garcia was taken down by Carol Elizabeth Kelman of Furman 6-3, 6-4.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - The Florida State women's tennis team swept the doubles brackets and went undefeated in singles on the second day of the FSU All-Conference Showdown. The Noles went 4-0 in doubles and 6-0 in singles to improve to 22-1 on the weekend.
"It was another solid day from the girls," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "We pushed a bit more today than in the past as expected. We responded well and made adjustments."
The day got started with all three Seminole pairs in the finals of each doubles bracket.
Juniors Ariana Rahmanparast and Julia Mikulski started the winning ways for the Garnet and Gold with a win over East Tennessee State in the Spear bracket finals. The Seminole duo took an early 2-1 lead but fell behind 3-4. The Noles pair regained their rhythm and finished off the match with an 8-6 victory.
Freshman Petra Hule and sophomore Andrea Garcia captured the Noles second doubles victory with an 8-6 win over USF. The match was back-and-forth but Hule and Garcia were able to take the last two points to seal the victory. Hule and Garcia finished the fall with an 11-2 doubles record together.
Senior Gabby Castaneda and sophomore Nandini Das finished off the doubles sweep for Florida State with a tough battle. The Seminole pair was up 7-3 before they got forced into a tiebreaker. The tiebreaker was neck-and-neck before Castaneda and Das pulled out an 8-7 (6) win.
Florida State followed up an impressive doubles showing with an equally impressive singles showing, which included six Seminole victories and five Noles advancing the finals of their bracket.
Hule was the first Seminole to advance in singles with a quick 6-2, 6-0 win in the Gold bracket against Furman. She will take on Monica Matias of UCF in the finals tomorrow.
Rahmanparast quickly followed with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over ETSU. She will take on Christina Jordan of West Virginia tomorrow.
Prochazkova brought in the third win for the Garnet and Gold with a 6-2, 6-4 win over West Virginia.
Das was in a tough three-set battle in the Garnet bracket semifinals. Das won the first set 6-4 before losing the second set 7-5. In the third set, Das jumped out to an early 4-1 lead before finishing off Troy 6-4. Das will take on Vanja Klaric of USF in the Garnet finals tomorrow.
Castaneda got her first singles win of the tournament against ETSU. She went down early in the first set before coming back to win it 7-5. The second set was a little easier as Castaneda defeated her opponent 6-4.
Garcia wrapped up the day for the Seminoles with their sixth singles victory. She defeated ETSU 6-2 in the first set and 7-5 in the second set.
"Tomorrow we have a chance to win five singles flight championships, said Hyde. "I am expecting
the girls to come ready to play and finish the fall season on the best note possible."
November 11, 2017
TALLAHASSEE, FL - The Florida State women's tennis team wrapped up the FSU All-Conference Showdown with two flight championships on Sunday and a 25-4 record over the duration of the weekend.
"We walked away from the weekend with five flight championships at home, which is a really solid effort by the girls," said head coach Jennifer Hyde.
Freshman Lucie Prochazkova earned the Seminoles' first flight championship with a 6-1, 6-3 win in the Speicher bracket. Prochazkova took down Marta Peris of Middle Tennessee in straight sets in which she never trailed.
Junior Ariana Rahmanparast earned the second flight championship for the Garnet and Gold with a straight-set victory over Christina Jordan of West Virginia. Rahmaparast jumped out to a 5-0 lead in set one before finishing it off 6-1. She took the second set 6-2.
Senior Gabby Castaneda earned a consolation championship in the Garnet bracket after making quick work of Danielle Bauers of Iowa. Castaneda took the first set 6-1 and followed that up with a 6-2 second set victory.
In the Gold bracket finals, freshman Petra Hule took the first set over Monica Matias of UCF, 6-0. Hule fell in the second set 6-1 and went behind early in set three. Down 5-0, Hule started to make a comeback but fell short in set three of the championship match 6-3.
Sophomore Andrea Garcia battled in a tough three-set match as well. She took set one 6-4 but lost set two 6-4. In set three she went up 1-0, but fell behind 2-1 and could not regain the lead, losing set three 6-3.
Sophomore Nandini Das took on Vanja Klaric of USF in the Garnet singles finals. Das brought the first set to a tiebreaker but fell short 7-6. In the second set, Das fell 6-2.
"The last day here was not quite as stellar as we were hoping for, but the good thing is that there is a lot that we can learn from," said Hyde. "I think this was a good tournament to set the tone for the upcoming spring season with a lot of great competition. Now it is time to catch our breath and get some postseason training in to get ready for a very exciting spring season."

Women’s Tennis Shuts Out Utah to Begin 2018 Season.
Sophomore Carla Touly earns a win in her long awaited first match.
HONOLULU, HI – The Florida State women’s tennis team (1-0) earned their first win of the season in Hawai’i with a 7-0 shutout of Utah (0-1).
“It was a pretty good start to the season,” said head coach Jennifer Hyde. “It felt like the girls did a really good job of controlling things in singles. Doubles was pretty good.”
The Seminoles started the day with a big doubles win against the Utes. The Noles trailed 1-2 on all three courts. They were able to fight back and win two of the three courts to earn the doubles point and take a 1-0 lead.
On court one, junior Julia Mikulski and sophomore Andrea Garcia trailed 3-5 but fought to take a 6-5 lead before heading into a tiebreaker. The Seminole duo defeated the No. 60 ranked Utah pair of Brianna Turley and Margo Pletcher in the tiebreaker 7-1.
The Utes tied it up on court three as they defeated senior Gabby Castaneda and junior Ariana Rahmanparast 6-4.
The Garnet and Gold clinched the doubles point on court two as sophomore Carla Touly and freshman Petra Hule battled from being down 2-3 to win the match 6-4.
“You are always going to have tight matches when you are playing six game sets in doubles so you don’t ever expect it to be anything but close,” said Hyde. “We held on pretty well and we fought back from some deficits to get the doubles point, which is pretty critical and always will be.”
The Noles got off to a hot start in singles, winning the first set on five of the six courts which eventually lead to a Seminole Sweep of singles.
Garcia got things started for Florida State as she quickly earned a 6-1, 6-2 victory on court six. Mikulski quickly followed breezing through her opponent on court four 6-3, 6-1, giving the Seminoles a 3-0 match lead.
Touly, in her first singles match as a Seminole after a year wait, made it a good one. She clinched the match for the Garnet and Gold. In the first set, she was down 4-0 but stormed back to take the set 7-5 and then the second set 6-4.
“It feels great,” said Touly. “I was a little bit tired at the beginning and the end, but I did it. I am really glad that everyone won, it makes it a perfect day.”
Already with the match in hand, Florida State continued the sweep with Hule giving the Noles a 5-0 advantage after a straight-set win on court three, 6-3, 6-2.
Castaneda and Rahmanparast finished off the Utes, both in third set 10 point tiebreakers. Castaneda won 10-3 and Rahmanparast won 10-6 in the third set.
“We did a great job of controlling every court in singles,” said Hyde. “We had a few mental lapses here and there, but all and all I think we played pretty clean today. We will definitely be using the next two day of match play to get sharper with what is ahead. We competed unbelievably well as a team and that is going to be something we see from this team. They are hardcore competitors and it is fun to be a part of that and watch them out there grinding it out.”

Women's Tennis Has Stellar Day at the Rainbow Wahine Invitational.
Noles go 4-0 in doubles and 7-1 in singles
January 13, 2018
HONOLULU, HI - The Florida State women's tennis team (1-0) began play on Saturday in the Rainbow Wahine Invitational after a brief scare that saw the state of Hawai'i get put under a ballistic missile warning. The tournament consists of Florida State, University of Hawai'i and Utah in individual singles and doubles play.
"It was another very solid day for us today," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "After a very big scare here in Hawaii this morning, the girls did an amazing job of compartmentalizing and got right to work. We came out winning all four doubles matches, and played a bit better today than yesterday."
The day started with doubles play that showcased the Seminoles going a perfect 4-0.
Senior Gabby Castaneda and junior Ariana Rahmanparast defeated Taylor Laua and Michelle Pits of Hawai'i 6-1. Sophomore Andrea Garcia and junior Julia Mikulski defeated Petra Melounova and Roxanne Resma of Hawai'i 6-4.
Sophomore Carla Touly and freshman Petra Hule defeated Brianna Turley and Margo Pletcher of Utah 7-5.
"Pep and Carla got behind 2-5 in their set, and won 5 straight games to finish," said Hyde. "Big fight shown by them to bring that deficit back."
Sophomore Gabby Goldin and freshman Lucie Prochazkova rounded out the Noles perfect doubles round with a 6-4 win over Victoria Robertson and Taylor Calton of Utah.
In singles, Rahmanparast fell behind early in the first set, 1-4, but was able to fight back and take the first set from Whitney Turley of Utah 7-5. In the second set, she was able to take care of her opponent a little easier, 6-3.
"Ari got behind 1-4 in her first set, and made some immediate and crucial adjustments that paid off," said Hyde. "She grabbed that set 7-5 and did a great job closing out the second set 6-3. She really worked to find her range and did so after a bit of a slow start."
Garcia had a much easier time than her teammate as she breezed through Leah Heimuli of Utah 6-1, 6-2.
"Andrea rolled today," said Hyde. "She's playing with a lot of confidence and is playing her game very specifically. I was very pleased with her play today."
Touly is continuing to get used to playing at the college tennis level but has improved to 2-0 as she took down Alexia Petrovic of Utah 6-4, 6-2.
"Carla played through some college tennis adversity today, but did a great job of using her maturity and experience to put things to rest," said Hyde. "She is learning a lot this weekend and competing very hard."
Castaneda fought in a tough match but was able to defeat Brianna Turley of Utah 7-5, 7-6 to become yet another Seminole to earn both a doubles and singles victory on the day.
"Gabby hasn't been 100% healthy these last three days yet found a way to win another 3rd set tiebreaker again today," said Hyde. "She's competing with a lot of focus and intention. I'm proud of her efforts today."
Mikulski was one of two Seminoles to go three sets on the day. After losing the first set 7-6, she turned it around and fought hard to win set two 7-6 and then the third set tiebreaker 11-9.
"Jules let some leads slip today, but she found a way to hang around while not playing her best tennis," said Hyde. "Today was an absolute mental battle for Jules, and I could not be more proud of her efforts in battling for a win in a third set tiebreaker. It's easy to win if you are playing your best, but 100% more difficult when you aren't. Jules found a way, and you have to love seeing that heart and fight from her. That was a big effort."
Hule wrapped up the winning for the Garnet and Gold as she took down Marina Hruba of Hawaii 6-4, 6-2.
Goldin fell behind early, losing set one 6-4, but fought back to take the second set, before falling in the final set.
"Gabby gave a big fight in her match today," said Hyde. "Her opponent didn't give GG an inch and made very few unforced errors. After losing the first set, she rallied hard and took a commanding lead quickly in the second set, and lost a close one in the third set."
Lucie Prochazkova also fell in a hard fought battle as well, losing 6-4, 6-3.
"It was good to Lucie compete hard out there today," said Hyde. "She played well against a seasoned Utah opponent, but just came up short."
"I am seeing a lot of fight in this team already, and it speaks very highly of where we are at this point in the season. We have one more day of tennis tomorrow, and a few more chances to keep improving. I look forward to finishing this amazing trip off on the highest note possible."
HONOLULU, HI - The Florida State women's tennis team (1-0) finished up the Rainbow Wahine Invitational on Sunday after spending a week in Hawai'i. The Seminoles went 2-2 in doubles and 5-2 in singles.
"It has been a pretty amazing trip for our team," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "We have played a ton of tennis and have a bunch of matches under our belt after the break. I am really liking what I am seeing from this team. There is very good chemistry and solid culture built into this team that is going to be a big difference maker for us this season. I am loving the way we are competing in all of our matches. It is like we have found another level, but I know we have many more levels to get to this season."
The duos of sophomore Andrea Garcia and junior Julia Mikulski, along with sophomore Carla Touly and freshman Petra Hule, earned the two Seminole doubles wins. Garcia and Mikulski defeated Whitney Turley and Leah Heimuli of Utah 6-3, while Touly and Hule took down Klara Pribylova and Nikola Dolakova of Hawai'i 6-0.
In singles, Mikulski, junior Ariana Rahmanparast, Garcia, Touly and freshman Lucie Prochazkova all came out on top.
Mikulski breezed through her opponent, Jasmine Rich of Utah, 6-1, 6-2. Rahmanparast took down her opponent pretty handily as well, as she defeated Victoria Robertson of Utah 6-2, 6-3. Touly improved her record to 3-0 on the year as she conquered Roxanne Resma of Hawai'i in straight sets 6-2, 6-2. Garcia got off to an early lead, winning set one 6-3. She was not as fortunate in set two as she fell to Alzbeta Houbova of Hawai'i 6-1. Garcia was able to regain her composure and defeat Houbova 11-9 in a tough third set battle. Prochazkova earned her first win of the fall by overpowering Taylor Calton of Utah, 6-4, 4-6, 10-6.
"We are off to a fantastic start and we have our focus very narrowly set on a match with Illinois next week," said Hyde. "I am proud with how we competed all weekend and am really excited to get back to Tallahassee and get ready for what is ahead the next two weekends."

Women's Tennis Suffers First Loss of 2018.
Florida State heads to Nashville next week to compete in the ITA Kickoff weekend.
URBANA, IL -The Florida State women's tennis team (1-1) entered the match against Illinois with a thinned roster as the flu bug had struck deep into the team. The Seminoles fought hard after going down early but were not able to make the comeback as they suffered their first setback of the 2018 season in a 4-1 loss to Illinois (1-0).
"It was a tough day today," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "Even though we have been battling the flu up and down the entire roster the last week, I still feel like we had every opportunity to take care of business today with the bodies that we had in the lineup. We had some leads that we let slip and we had a couple of big points and set points that we did not quite execute on. Those few things made a tremendous difference in today's outcome."
The Seminoles got off to an early lead in doubles on courts two and three, but could not hold on. Sophomore Andrea Garcia and freshman Lucie Prochazkova got out to an early 2-0 lead before losing the lead 3-5. The Seminole pair fought back to 4-5 before the Fighting Illini got the best of them. Junior Ariana Rahmanparast and sophomore Carla Touly were down 3-1 but fought back to tie it up at 3-3. The duo then tied it up at four, but could not hold on.
"The girls had to adapt to some new doubles pairing due to us being pretty thin and they did well with that," said Hyde.
In singles, the Noles got in a hole after sophomore Gabby Goldin lost on court six and Julia Mikulski lost on court three. The Noles fought hard and made a comeback that fell short.
Garcia helped the Noles inch closer as she won 7-5, 7-5 on court five.
"Andrea was as poised as always on court five," said Hyde. "She finds ways to get it done and she did a great job today."
On courts two and four Touly and Rahmanparast forced third sets after losing the first. While all of this was going on Senior Gabby Castaneda was fighting on court one. After losing the first set she fell behind early and was down 5-3. Castaneda stormed back and tied the match at five, but could not keep it up as she lost the second set 7-5.
"Ari battled so well today against maybe their best player," said Hyde. "She made good adjustments so did Carla at No. 2."
"I did see some very high notes today with regard to some of our players demonstrating a very strong will on court," said Hyde. "Having a strong will is not something you can coach; it is something you either possess or you don't. I was very pleased with the will demonstrated by a couple of our girls. We are going to use the next couple of the days to get everyone back healthy heading to the ITA Kickoff Weekend next week in Nashville."

Women's Tennis Advances to Winners Match of the ITA Kickoff Weekend.
The Seminoles will take either Vanderbilt or Nebraska tomorrow (Jan.
27).
NASHVILLE, TN - The Florida State women's tennis team (2-1) began the ITA Kickoff Weekend with a 4-1 win over Virginia (1-2) in Nashville, Tenn at the Vanderbilt Indoor Tennis Courts. The Seminoles will take on the winner of Vanderbilt and Nebraska tomorrow at 2 p.m. ET.
"Today was a good day for the Noles," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "I was very pleased with how the girls came out energized in doubles. That set the tone for the rest of the match."
The Garnet and Gold earned their second doubles point of the season as they won on courts two and three. On court two junior Ariana Rahmanparast and sophomore Carla Touly made quick work of their opponent as they were the first off with a 6-1 win. On court one sophomore Andrea Garcia and freshman Petra Hule fell to Virginia's No. 14 ranked doubles pair of Meghan Kelley and Rosie Johanson. With just one doubles win needed for the Noles to take the doubles point senior Gabby Castaneda and junior Julia Mikulski stepped up after being tied 4-4 and took their match 6-4 on court three to give Florida State the doubles point and a 1-0 lead.
The Noles took a quick 2-0 lead due to the stellar play of Mikulski on court five. She won the first set 6-2 and swept her opponent 6-0 in the second set.
"It was very important that Julia got a very quick second point on the board for us," said Hyde. "She played really well and with a lot of patience and maturity. Those details really matter in a match."
The Cavaliers narrowed the gap as #111 Meghan Kelly took down Hule in straight sets. Florida State continued to fight on courts one, two and four.
On court one Touly earned her second career dual match victory and first one court one. She defeated #48 Rosie Johanson in straight sets 7-5, 6-3.
"Carla grabbed her first ranked win as a Nole today against a very good player," said Hyde. "She led the whole match at that top court today and stepped up on big points."
On court two Castaneda lost the first set but came back with a shutout in set two. She brought the momentum in to set three as she clinched the match for the Noles with a 6-1 win.
"Gabby dropped a close first set 6-7 but then lost only one of the following 12 games to seal it up for us," said Hyde.
With a win tomorrow, the Seminoles would qualify for the ITA National Team Indoor Championships in Madison, Wis. at the University of Wisconsin from Feb. 8-11.
"The good thing is the match was not too long, and we have a lot left in the tank for what will be a big opportunity to advance to the final site tomorrow," said Hyde. "I like how we are stepping up in big moments and I like how this team is competing. The confidence is growing, especially after an effort like we gave today. We can't wait for the opportunity to earn a spot back in Wisconsin in the final 16."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -The Florida State women's tennis team (2-2) lost to No. 2 Vanderbilt (2-0) 4-1 in the championship match of the ITA Kickoff Nashville regional.
The Seminoles got off to an early lead against the Commodores as they took the doubles point.

On court two sophomore Carla Touly and junior Ariana Rahmanparast captured a 6-3 win to tie it 1-1 in doubles. During the deciding court one match, sophomore Andrea Garcia and freshman Petra Hule stepped up for Florida State. They were down 2-0 early in the match but fought back to take a 5-4 lead. Vanderbilt forced a tiebreak with the Noles that went back and forth until the Seminole duo stepped up and pulled away to win 7-5.
"The girls did a great job at the one and two spots to get the doubles point," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "I felt like we came out really solidly and played really smart in doubles, executing very well. On court one it was a tough match that went back and forth in the tiebreaker, and I was really happy with how they played in that match earning the doubles point.
In singles, the Seminoles fought but came up short. Hule was the first to fall on court three with a 6-3, 6-1 loss. Rahmanparast fought in the first set, but came up short 7-5 and then fell in set two, 6-0.
On courts one and two Touly and senior Gabby Castaneda battled hard against two of the top players in the country but came up short. Castaneda fell 6-3, 6-3 on court two and Touly lost 6-3, 7-5.
"Carla took on someone who is arguably the best tennis player in the country and had opportunities early and late in the match to stay out there, but came up a little short," said Hyde.
"Credit to Vanderbilt. They were hitting targets well and controlling the points early. They played really solid tennis today and didn't give us a whole lot of opportunities. I was very pleased with Julia's effort on court five. She continues to gain more confidence and is getting better."
"We now shift our focus to a very big match next week as we head down to Lake Nona to play Florida at the same time as the men on the Tennis Channel," said Hyde. "It will probably be the most televised and attended match in the history of college tennis. We are very honored to be a part of that and represent Florida State next weekend."

Florida State Women’s Tennis Earns Second Ever Win Against Florida.
The Seminoles took down the Gators 4-1 in front of a packed house.
LAKE NONA, FL – In front of a packed crowd of over 2,000 people, the Florida State women’s tennis team defeated the No. 3 and defending national champion Florida Gators for the first times since 2009 and just the second time ever. The Noles got off to a hot start and did not look back as they dominated the Gators 4-1.
“There is nothing like beating the Gators,” said head coach Jennifer Hyde. “Anytime you can step up and beat the defending national champions says a lot about the program. These kids battled. They have been preparing all week and have been so focused and ready for the moment. They were poised. I could not be prouder of the team today.”
The Seminoles got off to a hot start taking the doubles point from the No. 3 Gators. The Garnet and Gold were tied 1-1 after a loss on court one 6-4 and a win on court two 6-2. With the doubles point up for grab senior Gabby Castaneda and sophomore Nandini Das in her first match of the spring came up big. The two were able to give the Noles a 1-0 advantage with a 6-4 win on court 3.
This was the second time Florida State has taken the doubles point against a Top-5 team.
Florida State continued their hot start into singles as freshman Petra Hule earned one of the biggest wins of her young career to give the Seminoles a 2-0 lead. She defeated Victoria Emma on court three 6-1, 6-3. Junior Arianna Rahmanparast added to the lead giving the Garnet and Gold a 3-0 lead after a 6-2, 6-3 win on court five. Castaneda lost on court two bringing the Seminole lead to 3-1. Sophomore Andrea Garcia stepped up in a huge moment and clinched her first match of the season with a third set win, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2.
“It was amazing,” said Garcia. “It wasn’t just my match all my teammates did their job too. I was thinking that I needed to win the match.”

No. 21 Women’s Tennis Continues Winning in First Two Home Matches of the Spring.
The Seminoles are back home next weekend for a double header and
military appreciation match against Air Force.
TALLAHASSEE, FL – After coming off a big win over Florida the No. 21 ranked Florida State women’s tennis team came home for the first time this spring and grabbed wins over Florida Atlantic (6-1) and Mercer (4-0). Head Coach Jennifer Hyde also earned her 200th victory at Florida State with the win over FAU.
“It was really nice to be back home and play our first matches of the season on our own courts,” said Hyde. “It was great to see president Thrasher and his wife come out and support our girls.”
The Seminoles got off to a good start in doubles against FAU, claiming an early lead on courts two and three. Senior Gabby Castaneda and sophomore Nandini Das were the first to finish in doubles as they grabbed their second win together this spring with a 6-3 win on court three. Sophomore Carla Touly and junior Ariana Rahmanparast earned their team-leading third doubles win together of the spring in a 6-3 win on court two. Freshman Petra Hule and sophomore Andrea Garcia wrapped up doubles play with a 7-5 win on court one.
In singles the Garnet and Gold hopped out to an early lead, winning four of the six first sets. Touly fell in straight sets to FAU’s No. 4 ranked player, Aliona Bolsova. The Seminoles bounced back and took the remaining five courts. On court four Rahmaparast earned the Seminoles first singles win with a 6-2, 6-0 straight set win. Castaneda quickly followed with a 6-2, 6-2 win.
With the remaining three courts heading to third sets, Florida State held a 3-1 lead. Garcia earned her second straight match-clinching point on court six with a three-set comeback. She lost the first set 2-6 but came back to win sets two and three 6-4, 6-0. Hule quickly followed with a three-set win of her own, 6-3, 1-6, 6-4. Junior Julia Mikulski finished off the Owls with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 win on court five.
“A couple of spots got on and off pretty quickly and we knew there were going to be a couple of matches that were going to go pretty deep,” said Hyde. “This past week after the Florida win we trained harder than we had all semester. The next two weeks are going to continue to be like this as we prepare for the next round of matches that are ahead of use.”
In the second match of the day, the Garnet and Gold picked up where they left off. They got out quickly with a 6-0 win on court three from sophomore Gabby Goldin and freshman Lucie Prochazkova. Touly and Rahmanparast followed that up with a 6-3 win on court two for the Seminoles sixth doubles point of the season.
Florida State made quick work in singles as well with Porchazkova starting things off with her first singles win of the spring on court five 6-3, 6-0. Castaneda followed that up with her fourth win of the spring after a 6-2, 6-1 win on court three. Goldin earned her first match-clinching point on court six to give the Noles a 4-0 win over Mercer.
“We did a great job of doing exactly what we needed to do all day today,” said Hyde. “I was happy with how we came out. We came out a little quieter in doubles than what we are used to seeing but managed our emotions and our level to be exactly what was needed.”
“I am proud of their effort and how they came out today. Now it is time to focus on recovery and getting back to it at the beginning of next week and get focused on what we have ahead.”

No. 19 Women's Tennis Falls 4-3 to No. 12 Georgia Tech.
Carla Touly defeated the No. 25 player in the country in three sets.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - The No. 19 Florida State women's tennis team (7-3) lost their first home match of the season on Sunday. They fell in a close 4-3 match against No. 12 Georgia Tech (7-1) in the Seminoles' first ACC match of the season.
In doubles, Florida State had an early lead on all three courts. Georgia Tech stormed back to take a 4-3 lead on court one and two. The Seminoles were not able to come back and lost the matches on court one and three as the Yellow Jackets took the doubles point.
"Doubles was a big difference maker today," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "We had a lot of opportunities to get the point and we did not execute as well as we can and take advantage of the opportunities we created."
The Noles fought hard in singles as they attempted to make a comeback that was led by sophomore Carla Touly on court one. Junior Ariana Rahmanparast was the first Seminole to fall in singles as she lost to Kenya Jones. Georgia Tech grabbed a 3-0 lead as they defeated freshman Petra Hule on court two and then clinched the match on court three with a win by No. 83 Ida Jarlskog over senior Gabby Castaneda.
"They took control in three of the singles matches and in the other three we were hanging in there really well, and we know matches like this are going to come down to the end," said Hyde.
Even though Georgia Tech clinched the match, the Garnet and Gold did not give up and continued to fight. Sophomore Andrea Garcia continued her winning ways as she grabbed Florida State's first singles win on court six, and improved her singles record to 6-0 on the season. Touly made a big statement in her first ACC match of the season as she fought in a back and forth battle against No. 25 Paige Hourigan. Touly took the first set 6-2 but surrendered the second 7-5. She took an early lead in the third set and did not look back as she earned her biggest win of the season against No. 25 Hourigan. Junior Julia Mikulski wrapped up play as she earned a win of her own on court five in three sets.
"Credit to Georgia Tech, they stepped up on a few more courts than we did and that makes a big difference," said Hyde. "I was really pleased that even though we had lost the match the girls were still playing like it was for a title. Even though we had lost I think it shows a lot about the character of the team to fight hard and stay out here to take care of their work even though the match was finished."
Florida State will be back on the court next week as they take on Clemson on Friday and are back home on Sunday to take on the Pitt Panthers.
"You hate losing at home but we had a lot of really positive things to take from today and I am excited to get on the road for our second conference match against Clemson."

LAKE NONA, FL - The No. 16 Florida State women's tennis team (9-4) battled tough but fell short to No. 42 Miami (7-3) 5-2.
"This was a tough one," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "We knew it was going to be a close match. You always know Miami is going to play tough tennis."
The Seminoles were down early in doubles as courts one and two were behind. On court one sophomore Andrea Garcia and freshman Petra Hule fought back to take the lead but it was too late as Miami took the matches on courts two and three.
"The doubles point has been our strength all season, but it let us down today and we will get it back for Friday," said Hyde. "It was a tough day and we must learn from it and get better."
Down 1-0 Florida State battled in the singles matches. Sophomore Carla Touly fell on court one 6-2, 6-3 but the Garnet and Gold bounced right back as Garcia won her ninth straight match of the season on court six 6-1, 6-2. The remaining four courts all went to a third set. Miami was able to take court four and a 3-1 advantage after junior Julia Mikulski fell 6-1 in the third. Sophomore Nandini Das could not hold on as she had a 2-0 lead in the third before falling 6-3. With the match clinched for the Hurricanes, they took court five in the third set as Junior Ariana Rahmanparast fought down 5-4 to tie it 5-5 but could not hold on as Miami took court five 7-5 in the third set.
"Four three-setters in singles tells you a lot about the level of tennis that was being played," said Hyde. "We just needed to step up in a few more spots to get the job done."
On court two, Hule shined bright taking down senior and No. 108 Sinead Lohan in three sets. After losing the first set Hule was down 5-4 in the second and fought back to take the second set 7-5. She carried that momentum into the third set when she took a 2-0 lead. She maintained that lead as she went on to win the third set 6-4.
"That was a very big win for Petra at the two spot," said Hyde. "Lohan for Miami has been in the semifinals of the NCAAs and a top-10 player her whole career. She is a seasoned senior player and Pep did an amazing job of sticking with it."

TALLAHASSEE, FL - The No. 22/20 Florida State women's tennis team (9-5) lost their second straight match, this time at home to No. 46 NC State, 4-3.
The Seminoles fell down early in doubles after a loss on court two but rebounded to tie the doubles point up with a big win on court one. The duo for junior Ariana Rahmanparast and sophomore Carla Touly combined to take down NC State's No. 13 doubles pair. Touly and Rahmanparast were way down in the beginning but kept chipping away at their 3-1 deficit. The pair fought back from down 5-4 to tie it up at 6-6. In the tiebreaker, the Florida State duo prevailed and took court one and their first ranked doubles win of the season 7-4. That was not enough though as the Wolfpack took court three and the doubles point.
"We had our chances in doubles," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "We had a pretty solid lead on court three. We dug ourselves into a few holes but we did a good job in getting out of them."
In singles, NC State took a 2-0 advantage after winning on court five. Touly got another big win on the day, this time in singles to bring the match within one. She earned her second ranked win of the season, this time against No. 51 Anna Rogers. Carla took the first set 7-5 after being down 3-0 and went on to dominate the second set leading it 4-0 before finishing off her opponent 6-2.
"I am proud of Carla for getting another ranked win," said Hyde. "It is one of many that she has gotten and that she will continue to get."
The Wolfpack went on to win courts six and two to clinch the match and break sophomore Andrea Garcia's nine-match win streak and perfect 9-0 record in the spring. The Seminoles did not lay down, down 4-1. They fought on courts three and four, winning both matches in three sets. Sophomore Nandini Das was down a set after losing the first 6-4 but fought back to take the second 6-3. In the third set, she fell down early 3-0 but showed grit in fighting back to take set three 6-3. Senior Gabby Castaneda did the same on court four. She won the first set 6-2 but lost the second set 6-4. Just like Das she went down 3-0 in set three but was able to fight back and take the match 6-3 in the third.
"I was glad to see Gabby and Nandini fight themselves through some tough conditions," said Hyde. "You always expect matches to go the distance and they did a good job of hanging around and taking care of their courts."
"We have a quick turnaround against the number one team in the country on Sunday. Every match is on an even playing field for the rest of the season and the matches will go to whoever competes the hardest that day. We have a big opportunity against No. 1 North Carolina Sunday and we will be ready for it."

"We just took the No. 1 team in the country to the wire," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "We took them to 6-4 in the third set and were in a really good position to take that match from them but came up just a bit short."
"It was a tough one to lose because we were inches away from pulling that one off. I have to say being so close has made this team even more dangerous than we were at the start of the day."
The Seminoles fell down early in doubles after North Carolina took court one 6-0. Florida State fought in the remaining two courts but could not come back as they headed into singles down 1-0.
Carolina took a 3-0 lead with a 6-2, 6-1 win on court five and a 6-2, 6-0 win on court three. The Seminole did not back down as they went on to win the next three points.

They were back in forth in the first set before Julia took a 4-3 lead and turned that into a 6-3 first set win. In the second set, she took a 3-0 lead and did not look as she took the second set 6-2 and the match.
Touly tied the match up with a huge win on court one. Carla took down No. 16 Alle Sanford in straight sets on court one for her second win over a ranked opponent this weekend. She jumped out to a big 4-1 lead in the first set but Sanford came back to take a 5-4 lead. Touly won the next three games to take a one set lead. In the second set, Touly jumped out to a 5-0 lead before finishing off her opponent 6-1.
"We had huge individual wins for Carla, Julia and Petra," said Hyde. "We had top-25 wins at one and two. The girls did a good job of playing complete matches and were not going to be denied today. Those were the consistent performances we need to see."
With the match all knotted up senior Gabby Castaneda was alone on court four against UNC's 78th ranked Alexa Graham. Castaneda lost the first set 6-4 but battled in the second set to win 7-6 (7-3). In the third set, Gabby fell behind early 2-0 before tying it up at 2-2. Graham took a 5-2 lead but Castaneda was not ready to give in as she fought back to 5-4. Castaneda's efforts were not enough as Graham took the third set 6-4 and clinched the match for the Tar Heels.
"I am proud of how we competed. We played complete matches and complete sets," said Hyde. "Mentally we were where we needed to be. I am very proud of our effort today. looking ahead we are probably more excited than we have been all year as we see things coming together."
"It is a tough one but there is a lot to take from today's match that will be used as fuel heading into our match on Friday at Wake Forest. We are now more hungry now than we have been all year."

No. 24 Women's Tennis Falls to No. 4 Duke 6-1.
DURHAM, NC - The No. 24 Florida State women's tennis team (11-7, 3-5 ACC) battled tough but fell short to No. 4 Duke (15-1, 6-0 ACC) 6-1.
The Seminoles got out to an early 1-0 lead on courts one and three in doubles. Court one lost the lead as court two retook the lead for the Noles. Court three continued to cruise as they took a 4-0 lead. The Blue devils came back from down 4-2 on court two to tie it at 4-4 before Duke took court two 7-5. While that was going on the Seminoles maintained their lead on court three to take it 7-5 and tie the doubles point at one. With the opening point of the match on the line, the Noles and Blue Devils were heading to a tiebreaker on court one. The tiebreak was tied 6-6 before Duke captured the tiebreaker 9-7 and the doubles point for a 1-0 lead.
"We had some really good opportunities to clinch the doubles point again today," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "We played very well up and down all three spots and just let our foot off of the gas a little to let them back into the match. That is one of the great things we learned from today's match."
Florida State had a rough time in singles as they only won one first set. The Seminoles only won one second set as well as Duke took courts one, two, three and five all in straight sets. With Duke already having clinched the match 5-0, Florida State battled in third sets on courts four and six. On court six sophomore Andrea Garcia captured the Noles only point of the match. She won the first set 6-3 before losing the second set 6-3. In the third set, Garcia led 8-4 before Duke brought it within one. Garcia capped off her court with a 10-8 win in the third set. Sophomore Nandini Das battled in the third set on court four and was tied 6-6 before Duke won four of the next five points to take the third set 10-7 and a 6-1 win.
"Against these better teams as soon as you lay up a shorter ball they will punish you," said Hyde. "Duke did a very good job of that today. As soon as we showed a little bit of weakness or a weaker shot they capitalized. That was a pretty significant difference in today's match. The great thing is, is that we saw a tremendous amount of fight in a lot of spots. That is going to keep fueling us."
"We have this match behind us and fully have our sights set on Virginia on Saturday. So much was taken from today's match and it will make us better for Saturday. We are ready to get to Charlottesville and get back to work."

No. 24 Women's Tennis Takes Down No. 18 Virginia For the Second Time this Season.
The Seminoles are back home next weekend to take on Syracuse
(April 6) and Boston College (April 8).
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA - The No. 24 Florida State women's tennis team (12-7, 4-5 ACC) took down No. 18 Virginia (12-5, 6-3 ACC) for the second time this season, 5-2.
"Today was a really good college match on both sides of the net," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "The level of play was high and the competitiveness was solid from everyone out on court. I was really proud of how poised our team stayed with the ebb and flow of the match and with some of the change in momentum. That tells you a lot about the maturity of this team."
The Seminole got out to a 1-0 lead with their 13th doubles point this season. The Garnet and Gold were led by senior Gabby Castaneda and freshman Petra Hule on court three. This duo cruised through their opponent on their way to a 6-1 win. On court two junior Julia Mikulski and sophomore, Andrea Garcia took down their opponent 6-4 to clinch the doubles point. Junior Ariana Rahmanparast and sophomore Carla Touly were down 2-4 on court one and came back to tie it at five, but was not able to finish as the doubles point was clinched.
"Getting the doubles point to start off is something we have been just short of the last couple of matches," said Hyde. "We knew with the partnerships that we have that getting that point was inevitable and they did a great job of finishing the job today. You can always expect every doubles match to be close. We did a good job of hanging in there. This is a very good Virginia team and to come on the road and win two of our last three matches by beating two top-25 teams speaks volumes for the mission this team is on right now."
Florida State came out hot in singles, winning four first sets. The singles scoring got started with Hule on court two. She jumped out to an early 4-1 lead in the first set before her opponent tied it up at four. Hule was not fazed as she won the next two games to take the first set 6-4. In the second they were back and forth until it was 5-5. Hule once again won the last two games to seal the win and give the Noles a 2-0 advantage. Rahmanparast gave the Garnet and Gold a 3-0 lead with a straight-set win on court five. She was down 3-0 in the first set before turning it around to take the set 7-5. In the second set, she was down 1-2 and went on to win five of the next six games. Garcia clinched her fourth match of the season with a straight-set win of her own on court six. She was back and forth with her opponent in the first before capturing the set 7-5. In the second set, she jumped out to an early 2-0 lead and never looked back as she went on to win 6-4, giving the Nole a 4-0 lead.
Virginia was able to capture their first point of the match on court three with a 6-4, 6-2 win but the Noles bounced back to take a 5-1 lead on the Cavaliers with a 7-5, 7-6 win by Touly on court one. It was her fifth win of the season against a ranked opponent. Virginia capped off the match with a three-set win on court four.
"This road trip has been a grind and we are excited to get home this week and reset our focus on finishing out our home slate of matches," said Hyde. "This was one heck of a way to finish of this road trip. I am proud of the girls. They did a fantastic job today."

“Credit to Virginia Tech today,” said head coach Jennifer Hyde. “That was a completely different team than we saw a couple weeks ago, which we did expect. They came out on a mission, competed hard, and played to win. We didn't deliver the punches across the board today like we have been able to do all season.”
The day started off slow for the Noles as they went down 1-0 after losing the doubles point. Florida State jumped out to an early lead on courts one and three while they were down 3-0 on court two.

On court one Virginia Tech fought back from down 3-1 to tie it up at four. The Hokies won the final two games on court six and the doubles point.
In singles, the Noles went on to win five of six first sets, led by 6-1 wins from freshman Petra Hule and junior Ariana Rahmanaparast. Virginia Tech took the first set on court one 6-0 and turned that into a 2-0 lead as they claimed the second set 6-4.
Florida State quickly punched back getting their first point on the board with a win by Rahmanparast. After dominating the first set 6-1 she came right back and did the same in the second set taking it 6-1 from Virginia Tech’s Katherine Butler.
Sophomore Andrea Garcia tied it up for the Noles with her team-leading 17th win of the season. She jumped out to an early 4-1 lead in the first set and capitalized off of it with a 6-3 win. In the second set, she took a 3-2 lead and went on to win the last three games to take the second set 6-2 and the match.
Florida State took their first lead of the match with a win from sophomore Nandini Das on court three. After a long first set and taking it 7-6 in a tiebreaker, she cruised through the second set, getting out to a 5-1 lead before taking down her opponent 6-2.
Virginia Tech was able to tie the match back up with a win on court two. Freshman Petra Hule ran through the first set 6-1 but could not keep it up as she went on to lose the next two sets.
With the match on the line, it all came down to junior Julia Mikulski. Mikulski had a long-fought battle in the first set that resulted in a 7-5. That got followed up by an even longer set in the second as Mikulski lost it in a tiebreak. Virginia Tech came out of the gate hot in the third set as they took the first five games. Mikulski showed fight as she brought it back to 5-1 but could not keep it up as she fell 6-1 in the third set.
“This loss, albeit poorly timed, is nothing more than a hiccup in what has been a very solid season so far for this squad,” said Hyde. “Nothing can take away from that, but today we took our foot off the gas pedal and there is a cost for that, but if this kind of loss doesn't get your attention to bring your best on Gameday, nothing will."
“Looking ahead, we will be together on May 1 (and Jules's birthday) to see our NCAA Selection,” said Hyde. “We are anticipating that with great excitement and can't wait to make a run in this postseason. Now, we will head back for Finals week, finish up all of our academic responsibilities, and set our focus back on NCAA's and the opportunities ahead. This is the best time of the season!”

"Today was a good day for the Noles," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "I was very pleased with how the girls set the tone in doubles, and that tone carried on throughout the match. UNF did a good job of creating some adversity for us today, and that is exactly what we needed to prepare for tomorrow's rematch with Florida. Those first round jitters are gone and now we can really narrow our focus for the next battle ahead of us. We are pumped, and more importantly, we are ready, for tomorrow's opportunity to advance to the Sweet 16."
The day got started with a dominating doubles win by the Noles. Senior Gabby Castaneda and freshman Petra Hule combined to get a 6-1 win on court three. The pair took a 1-0 lead before UNF tied it up at one. The Seminoles went on to win the next five games to take the court 6-1. Sophomore Carla Touly and junior Ariana Rahmanparast combined to get a 6-2 win on court one to clinch the doubles point. They jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead before the Ospreys brought it to 5-2. Touly and Rahmanparast finished off UNF for their 13 doubles win together this spring.
Hule was the first to get off of the court in singles, giving Florida State a 2-0 lead. She exchanged points with Eva Nyikos in the first before taking the last two games and the first set 6-4. Hule dominated the second set, not letting up a point on her way to a 6-0 win.
Sophomore Andrea Garcia extended the lead to 3-0 as she made easy work on court six. After jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the first she surrendered her only point of the set, winning it 6-1. Garcia took down Florencia Rossi 6-1 in the second set as well.
Touly finished off the Ospreys on court one with a straight-set win. She was down 5-2 in the first set before storming back to force a tiebreaker in the first set. Touly went on to win the tiebreak and took that momentum into the second set, which she won 6-2.

Sweet 16 Bound: Women's Tennis Defeats Florida 4-3 to Advance to the NCAA Tournament Final Site.
GAINESVILLE, FL - For the second time in team history, the Florida State women's tennis team (19-9) is headed to the Sweet 16 after a 4-3 win over the Florida Gators (19-9) at the Ring Tennis Center on Saturday. It was also the second time this season that the Seminoles defeated the Gators after beating them 4-1, in Lake Nona earlier this season.
"We knew that today was going to come down to the absolute end," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "This time of year, we expect nothing less. I honestly can't put into words how proud I am of this group. They took punch after punch and they withstood it. They withstood a really hostile crowd and some very good tennis from the other side of the net and they just kept bringing it. Today was a 100 percent complete team effort that required everyone to get it done. That is the beauty of college tennis and the beauty of coaching at Florida State and this group of women. They are now the second team in the history of Florida State women's tennis to make it to the Sweet 16. This was a goal that we had set early in the season and we knew we could do, we just need the chance to prove it. Beating a storied program like Florida two times in one season speaks volumes about this group."
FSU began by clinching the doubles point with wins from courts two and three. Senior Gabby Castaneda and freshman Petra Hule were the first off the court with a 6-2 win. The Gators tied it up with a 6-3 win on court one by 17th ranked Anna Danilina and Victoria Emma over sophomore Carla Touly and junior Ariana Rahmanparast.
Junior Julia Mikulski and sophomore Andrea Garcia clinched the doubles point with a 6-4 win over UF's McCartney Kessler and Kosie Kuhlman.
In singles, Florida jumped out to a 3-1 lead after winning on courts one, two and five.
18th ranked Anna Danilina tied the match up for Florida with a straight-set win over 19th ranked Touly. The Gators then took their first lead with a straight-set win on court five and expanded their lead to 3-1 with a 6-4, 6-4 win on court two.
With their backs against the wall, Florida State made a comeback for the ages.
Castaneda struck first for the Noles in singles with a 6-4, 6-4 win on court four. She jumped out to a 4-2 lead in the first set before finishing off Victoria Emma. She claimed a 3-0 lead in the second before winning it and bringing the score to 3-2.
The Noles tied it up on court three as sophomore Nandini Das won in the third set after her opponent had to medically default.
With the match on the line, Garcia did what she does best, clinching matches. After winning the first set 6-3, she was forced into a third set after losing the second set tiebreak. In the third set, she took a 2-0 lead and expanded that to 3-1 before Florida's Katie Kubicz tied it up at three. Garcia finished the match as she won three of the last four games to clinch her match 6-4 and the dual 4-3.
"The belief runs deep, and we are going to enjoy this milestone for the next day for sure," said coach Hyde. "We can't wait to pack our bags and head to North Carolina for the Sweet 16 where we know we are capable of beating anyone. Again, I cannot put words to how proud of this group I am. They just fought and fought."

Elite 8 Bound: Women's Tennis Defeats Tulsa 4-3 to Advance to the Elite 8.
This is the first time in program history that the Seminoles have made
the Elite 8
CHAPEL HILL, NC - After rain caused the Florida State women's tennis team to travel from Winston Salem to Chapel Hill, history was made. The Seminoles did something no other tennis team at Florida State has ever done: make it to the Elite 8. With a 4-3 win over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane, the Seminoles will take on Vanderbilt in the quarterfinals.
"I don't think I can describe how I am feeling right now," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "I continue to be very proud of these girls. They fight and hang around. They are just tough. They are a tough group of competitors and it has been a long road to get us where we are. It has taken a lot of different people, and a lot of blood sweat and tears to get us back here. These kids have been amazing. I am just at a loss for words."
For just the seventh time all season, the Seminoles dropped the doubles point. Florida State lost court two quickly as they fell behind 3-0 early. The pair of junior Julia Mikulski and sophomore Andrea Garcia grabbed the fourth game, but that was all as they fell 6-1. Court two lost the first game but jumped out to a 2-1 lead. The Seminole duo of senior Gabby Castaneda and freshman Petra Hule continued to battle back and forth with Tulane's R.J. van Rensburg and Tamara Kupkova. The Florida State pair prevailed as they won the last three games and the match on court three, 6-4. With the doubles point on the line, it came down to junior Ariana Rahmanparast and sophomore Carla Touly on court one. They jumped out to a 4-1 lead, but Tulsa fought back to tie it at four. With the match tied at five, Tulane took a 40-0 lead before the Seminoles tied it up, 40-40, but Tulane was able to win the deciding point to take a 6-5 advantage. The Seminole duo could not hold on as Tulsa captured court one 7-5 and the doubles point.
The Garnet and Gold made a statement early in singles, winning four first sets. Courts one and two got off quick and gave the Seminoles their first lead of the match. Hule dominated No. 112 Martina Okalova on court two, taking the first set 6-3 and the second 6-2 to tie things up at one. Touly made quick work of her own on court one. She took down No. 80 Ksenia Laskutova 6-1 in the first set and 6-2 in the second set.
Tulane tied it back up with a straight-set win on court one. The Golden Hurricane took the first set from sophomore Nandini Das 6-2. In the second set, Das went down 5-2 and fought back to make it 5-4 before losing on court three. Not too long after, Garcia lost on court six giving Tulsa the lead again.
Just like last week, the Seminoles shined with their backs against the wall. On court four, Castaneda took the first set 6-4 but was not as fortunate in the second set as she was swept 6-0. In the third set, Castaneda jumped out to a 3-0 lead before her opponent closed the gap. Up 5-4 on a deuce point, Castaneda showed her experience, taking the point and the match on court four to tie the dual up at three.
"I believed in everyone the whole match," said Castaneda. "I couldn't see the scoreboard on the other side, but I could feel the energy and hear the excitement and the cheering and knew we were going to win."
With the match on the line, Rahmanparast shined. She took the first set 6-1 before losing the second set 6-4. In the third set, Rahmanparast was back and forth until it was 2-2. She turned it on at the point taking a 4-2 lead before finishing off her opponent 6-3.
"It was an indescribable feeling making the Elite 8," said Rahmanparast. "This is a dream come true."

Historic Season Comes to an End as Women's Tennis Falls in the Elite 8.
Sophomore Carla Touly will continue her season Wednesday in the NCAA
Singles Championship.
WINSTON-SALEM, NC - The Florida State women's tennis team (21-9) record breaking season came to an end Saturday as they fell to the No. 1 seed, Vanderbilt, 4-0.
"It is tough losing the way we did today," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "You never want it to be quick like that. We came across a very good Vanderbilt team and I wish we could have given a few more punches."
For the first time in program history the Seminoles made it to the Elite 8 after upsetting Florida in Gainesville and then won their Sweet 16 matchup against Tulsa. The Seminoles finished the season with a 21-9 record including wins over seven ranked teams. The 21 wins were tied for the second most in school history behind only the 1982 team that went 23-17.
"This season has been one for the books," said Hyde. "We have had so many great and special teams over the years and this one is right up there on the list. It is such a special group of young ladies. It has been a complete honor to work with them all year and they have come together like you would not have predicted four months ago. I am abundantly proud."
Senior Gabby Castaneda's fantastic career came to an end as she was not able to finish her match on court four. She finished her amazing career with 66 singles wins and 72 doubles wins to put her in 18th all-time in career wins at FSU.
The day started with the Seminoles losing the doubles point. Court two was the first to fall as they fell behind quickly 3-0. The pair of junior Julia Mikulski and sophomore Andrea Garcia then captured their first and only point of the match as the Commodores took court two 6-1. Court one fell right after as the Seminole duo of sophomore Carla Touly and junior Ariana Rahmanparast jumped out to a 1-0 lead against Vandy's 11th ranked pairing of Astra Sharma and Fernanda Contreras. The Garnet and Gold then fell behind 1-3 before bringing it to 2-3. Vanderbilt went on to win the last three games to take court one and the doubles point.
In singles, Vanderbilt took down the Seminoles winning on courts one, two and six.
Vandy's Fernanda Contreras, ranked 10th in the nation, took down freshman Petra Hule in straight sets on court two to give the Commodores a 2-0 lead. On court one, 11th ranked Astra Sharma gave Vanderbilt a 3-0 lead as she took down Touly 6-3, 6-1.
Vanderbilt clinched the match on court six as Summer Dvorak took down Garcia 6-4, 6-0.
As the match ended sophomore Nandini Das was still playing the second set down 2-5, Rahmapanparast was tied 5-5 in the second set and Castaneda was leading 3-2.
"It is exciting because we have pretty much everyone returning and two people coming in," said Hyde. "All we lose is Gabby, who got to finish her senior year about as good as you can. There are so many things to look forward to in the future. I am proud of the effort the girls have given all season and they made the record books and should be proud of that."
Touly will continue her 2018 season in few days as she will compete in the 2018 NCAA Singles Championship starting Wednesday, May 23rd.
