Blue Devils win pair in Hawaii

No. 13 Duke celebrated spring break in Hawaii with victories over the hometown Warriors and No. 20 Tennessee.

Saturday's 5-2 victory over the Volunteers marked head coach Jamie Ashworth's 250th win at Duke.

Sophomore Amanda Granson and junior Melissa Mang combined for three victories for the Blue Devils (9-1). The two teamed up for a doubles win over Caitlin Whoriskey and Zsofia Zubor.

Granson won her singles match in straight sets while Mang came back to win 2-6, 6-1, 6-1.

Freshmen Ellah Nze and Reka Zsilinszka bounced back from a loss in their doubles match to each win their singles matches in straight sets. Zsilinszka's win at No. 3 singles was the deciding victory.

Tara Iyer lost in straight sets at the No. 1 singles slot to Whoriskey while Tory Zawacki fell to Tennessee's Rosalfa Alda.

Duke won its other match in Honolulu Wednesday over Hawaii, 7-0. The Blue Devils return to conference play Wednesday when they host N.C. State.
