No. 9 Duke picked up its best win of the year Saturday, knocking off defending national champion, No. 2 Georgia Tech 4-3 Saturday at the Ambler Tennis Stadium.
Freshman Ellah Nze clinched the victory with a 7-6, 6-3 triumph at second singles. Reka Zsilinskza won 6-2, 6-2 at third singles, and junior Jess Robinson also gave Duke a point at sixth singles with a 6-4, 6-3 win.
The Blue Devils (11-2, 4-1 in the ACC) swept all three doubles matches to take the match's doubles point, too.
After an emphatic win Saturday, however, Duke could not maintain its momentum.
Clemson knocked off the Blue Devils at the Ambler Tennis Stadium, 6-1, Sunday. Duke's lone win came at the fourth-singles slot, where junior Melissa Mang avoided a shutout with a 6-1, 6-3 victory.
The Blue Devils return to the court next week, when they travel to Miami Friday night.
