I went to the Pepperdine match. Beyond just the 5-2 final score, it was a very solid win/upset of the number 10 ranked team in the nation.

We dominated them in doubles, easily winning all 3 matches (was winning the unfinished #2 doubles match 5-1 when play was abandoned).

At #1 singles, Laki beat the #13 ranked player in the country, Broadus. To my untrained eye, IMO Broadus was a very good player. I think Laki had to come back to win the first set. I watched most of the second set, and Laki went down 1-4 in the second set and then won 5 games in a row to take the 2nd set 6-4. I think this confirms that Laki has the talent/ability to be a top 15 or even a top 10 player in the NCAA right now.

I don't know for sure, but I think Pepperdine might have been employing some "gamesmanship" by putting a player at #2 singles (Oved, ranked #90) who was worse than their players at #3 and #4 singles. Zyryanova destroyed their #2 singles player, 6-1, 6-0. Pepperdine's #3 singles player was very tough, and beat Kristina Paskauskus in a well-played match 6-3, 6-4.

Broadfoot could have won at #4 singles (against #61 ranked Yang), but had an off day I think. Broadfoot won a tough first set, then lost a close second set, and lost the 3rd badly. She got in some kind of mental funk where she couldn't hit her backhand well at all (especially beginning about the middle of the 2nd set), and was not taking a full/fast swing. I even overheard her audibly say something in the 2nd set like "what's wrong with my backhand" (paraphrasing).

At #5 singles, Zampardo won the first set fairly easily, then the 2nd set was close the entire way and she lost in a tiebreak. Then they played at 3rd set tiebreaker, which she won 10-4. At #6 singles, Gabia Paskauskus won easily, 6-0, 6-1.

The next matches are at the ITA kickoff weekend this coming Friday and Saturday, against #15 Ohio State and then either #18 Tennessee or Texas Tech. I think the way it works is a two day tournament among those 4 teams, with the top team (that goes 2-0) advancing to the ITA Indoor National Tournament final site (where I think only the top 16 teams go).

No. 14 ranked NC State women's tennis its opening weekend of home dual matches defeating No. 10 Pepperdine 5-2.

The Pack took on Pepperdine in a Sunday Showdown, following a dominant 7-0 victory over Campbell on Friday night. With a youthful yet determined roster, NC State has proven to be a fierce competitor, showcasing their strength against ranked opponents.

No. 5 ranked doubles team Maddy Zampardo and Gabriella Broadfoot continued their winning streak after picking up their fifth straight win as a pair after defeating the No. 14 ranked doubles team Savannah Broadus and Vivian Yang of Pepperdine 6-2.

Junior Anna Zyranova went 2-for-2 in the Pack's home opener and has shown consistency coming off of an injury, only giving up one game against No. 90 Liam Oved of Pepperdine 6-1, 6-0.

Freshman Michaela Laki made her college debut on Friday in the Pack's dual match against Campbell. She returned to action on Sunday, stepping up to the No. 1 singles slot against highly ranked No. 10 Pepperdine, where she delivered an impressive victory over No. 13 Savannah Broadus defeating her in straight sets 6-4, 6-4.
No. 55 Gabia Paskausas dominated in singles play, sweeping the first set 6-0 and only dropping one game in the second set, securing a 6-0, 6-1 victory to clinch the match for the Wolfpack. In another tough battle, Maddy Zampardo squared off against No. 112 Alexia Harmon. Zampardo took the first set 6-3, but Harmon fought back to win the second set 7-6. In a tense 10-point tiebreaker, Zampardo showed great resilience, ultimately claiming the match.

Looking ahead, the Wolfpack will travel to Knoxville, Tennessee, to compete in the ITA Kickoff Weekend, hosted by Tennessee, from January 24-25. Their upcoming opponents include Texas Tech, Ohio State, and Tennessee.
