BLACKSBURG, Va. – Radford dropped a 7-0 decision to Virginia Tech Saturday afternoon as the two New River Valley foes met inside the Burrows-Burleson Tennis Center.

The Highlanders put up a fight in doubles play, nearly collecting the point. Drousile Dzeubou and Lotti Meszaros teamed up to takedown Katherine Butler and McKenzie Collins 6-4 in No. 2 doubles.

The win marked the second doubles win over a Power 5 opponent this season for Dzeubou and Meszaros. They are 5-0 in doubles action.

Locked at one match each, Radford was unable to take the point as Natalie Sayer and Tyler Blalock dropped a hard-fought 7-6 decision to Nika Kozar and Nina Sorkin in No. 1 doubles.

In singles action, Blalock would win five games in the opening set of No. 4 singles against Kozar, but eventually fell 7-5, 6-2. Five games would be the most won by a Highlander on the day in singles play.

Radford returns to play on Feb. 23 at George Mason for a 6 p.m., match
