KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – No. 38 Ole Miss Women's Tennis falls to No. 19 Tennessee, 4-1, on Thursday night at the Dr. Robert L. Barksdale Tennis Stadium.
Despite the loss, Ole Miss's (13-10, 5-9 SEC) Riley Crowder would pick up her 15th dual singles win, and first-ranked singles win of her career against the Volunteers.
In doubles, Tennessee (12-8, 7-7 SEC) managed to cruise to two straight court victories to claim the first match point of the day.
In singles play, the Volunteers would continue to build on their momentum from doubles as they would tack on another match point by taking the first singles court. After going down 2-0, the Rebels would get on the board after Crowder defeated No. 115 Catherine Aulia, 6-4, 6-3.
Tennessee would then go on to win two straight courts to pull away while clinching the match.
The Rebels will cap off their regular season on the road against Kentucky, on Saturday, April 11, at 12 p.m. CT at the Hilary J. Boone Tennis Complex.
