"I really love matches we have with [Tarleton State] because they really make us dig in deep," UNT head coach Amanda Stone said. "When we lost the doubles point, we knew it was likely going to go down to the last court. I'm so proud of Carolina [Laydner] for stepping up and keeping her confidence."
Gianna Pielet, on senior day, picked up the first win of singles play with a 7-6, 6-3 win at line one. Pielet has now won three of her last four singles matches.
