After falling behind early, the George Washington tennis team couldn't catch back up, falling to Norfolk State, 4-3, on Monday afternoon. GW drops to 7-8 overall with three matches remaining in the regular season.
Â
The Spartans got out to a fast start, which included a sweep in all three doubles matches. GW's duo of Victoria Sasinka and Solange Skeene put up a good fight in the second flight, falling to Norfolk State's pairing by a score of 6-4.
Â
The Revolutionaries made things interesting in singles play, winning matches in the second, fifth and sixth flights. Sasinka secured a 6-2, 7-6 (9-7) win over her opponent in second singles, while Karen Verduzco picked up a 0-6, 6-3, 6-1 victory in the fifth spot. First-year Devika Manu got on the board with a 6-7, 6-4, 10-5 win in the sixth flight, but the GW Revs couldn't secure the decisive fourth point to seal the match victory.
Â
Manu improves to a 7-5 record in singles play as she continues to put together an impressive rookie campaign. Verduzco goes to 6-5 on the year, while Sasinka earned her fifth singles dub of the spring season.
Â
GW returns to action this weekend, with matches on Friday and Saturday in Kinston, R.I. The Revolutionaries will battle New Haven on Friday at 12:00 p.m., before taking on host Rhode Island on Saturday at 11:00 a.m.
