Abrams Highlights Highlanders Season Opener with Big Singles Win

BLACKSBURG, Va. – The Radford women's tennis program kicked off their season Saturday afternoon against NRV rival Virginia Tech falling 6-1 despite some close individual matches.

Julia Abrams had the highlight of the day in her incredible comeback victory on the top singles flight. After dropping the first set, Abrams won back-to-back tiebreakers for the big win 4-6, 7-6(9), 1-0(9).

In doubles play Abrams teamed up with Lexi Smolder for another tight contest that required a tiebreaker. Points were traded back and forth, but the Hokies would take the top doubles court 7-6(2).

Michaela Stephens made her season debut for the Highlanders on court two doubles and singles. Highlanders Emily Brandow, Brooke Murphy and Rachel Ekanem also made their first appearances of the season.

The Highlanders will next be in action when they travel to face Marshall next week on January 27th.
