BU Scores in Doubles, Falls to No. 20 CUI

The Biola women’s tennis squad stole the first point of the day, before being tripped up at No. 20 Concordia.

IRVINE, Calif. --- A pair of top-ranked teams faced off on Friday, as Biola traveled to Irvine to take on the 20th-ranked CUI Eagles. The host squad grabbed the upper hand on the day, defeating BU 4-1.

In a best-of-three battle in doubles play, CUI came out on top in the first matchup to put the pressure on Biola. 

Brooke Fager and Lilly McNeill joined forces to edge their competitors, 7-5, leaving the doubles point up to the No. 3 spot. The BU duo, Gaby Carvajal and Ines Diaz answered the call, winning in a similar 7-5 fashion.

For just the third time this season, Carvajal and Diaz teamed up in a doubles contest. The two Eagles showed their strength together, notching their second-straight win as a tandem. 

Despite the early deficit, Concordia found success as the match shifted to the singles matches. Courts No. 4 and No. 2 resulted in quick wins for CUI, giving the host team a 2-1 lead.

The No. 1 and No. 3 spots went the distance, as the match still remained undecided. Colbeyshae Emery and Fager offered excellent efforts, winning the second set in each singles contest but neither could complete the comeback in the third set.

BU will look to bounce back on Thursday against Hawaii Pacific in a home contest at 1:00 pm.
