AASU Leads BYU-Hawaii 2-1 After Doubles

The Armstrong Atlantic State women's tennis team came out on a cool, overcast morning on Friday and started out slowly against top-ranked BYU-Hawaii, but rallied to take two doubles matches from the Seasiders after doubles play, giving the Lady Pirates a 2-1 lead. Iuliia Stupak and Gabriella Kovacs took an 8-5 win over the top-ranked doubles duo of Elwen Li and Maggie Deng, then Martina Beckmann and Alida Muller-Wehlau rallied froma 4-1 deficit to defeat Ramona Husaru and Becky Lu, 8-6, at No. 2 doubles. That means the Lady Pirates need to just split the six singles matches to earn the semifinal win.
