#3 Tar Heels Drop Terps

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The Maryland women's tennis team dropped at 6-1 decision to No. 3 North Carolina at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center Sunday afternoon.

Olivia Gaudreault was the highlight for the Terps, marking her return to the singles lineup with a victory over Laura Slater at No. 6. The Tar Heels controlled the rest of the matches.

In doubles, North Carolina's three ranked doubles team shutdown the Terps. The point was secured at No. 1 when No. 3 Jamie Loeb and Hayley Carter defeated Welma Luus and Nataliya Bredikhina, 8-1.

Loeb continued her strong play, knocking off Alexandra Stanova, 6-2, 6-2, on court one. Carter and Carolina Price, both nationally ranked, gave up just six games combined in wins at No. 2 and No. 3.

Gaudreault's victory was the final completed match of the day. It was her first singles match since March 14 against Clemson.  She is now 5-3 on the season.

The Terps finish out the regular season at home next weekend.  Boston College will be in town for a Saturday showdown and the Terps will take on NC State the following day. #3 North Carolina 6, Maryland 1
