Chanticleers will host Charleston Southern on Sunday, Feb. 12, weather permitting
MT. PLEASANT, S.C. – The Coastal Carolina women's tennis team opened up its 2023 spring slate on the road on Wednesday afternoon, as the Chanticleers fell to the College of Charleston Cougars 5-2 in non-conference play in Mt. Pleasant, S.C.
With the loss, CCU fell to 0-1 to start the season. With the win, CofC improved to 2-1 on the year.
Coastal started the match with a clean sweep in doubles play, as the team of Tatum Burger and Lilie Steryous won 6-2 on court No. 3 before the No. 1 flight team of Anna Babayan and Megan Hopton secured the doubles point with a 6-4 win.
The duo of Kata Foldeak and Jesse Hollins completed the sweep by holding off the Cougars' team of Slade Coetzee and Klara Vukicevic for a 7-6, tie-breaking win on court No. 2.
However, the momentum of the match quickly shifted in singles play, as the home-standing Cougars won in straight sets on courts No. 6 and No. 2 to take a 2-1 match lead.
Coastal answered with a win of its own on court No. 4, as Burger overcame a first-set 7-5 loss to take the second set 6-1 and the third set 6-2 for a three-set win (5-7, 6-1, 6-2) over Ella Faessler to tie the match up at 2-2.
Unfortunately for the Chants, Charleston was able to hold on for three-set wins over the final three matches on courts No. 1, 3, and 5 to pull away for the 5-2 match win.
Coastal will be back in action on Sunday, Feb. 12, when the Chanticleers will host Charleston Southern at noon ET at the Stevens Tennis Complex. The match was originally scheduled for Friday, Feb. 10, but was moved due to the forecast of inclement weather on Friday.
