W. Tennis Downs Owls, Drop to Eagles

At this point it did not look good for the Crimson, as the Eagles had taken a 3-2 overall edge and had the advantage in the remaining two matches.

Playing in the number six spot, sophomore Olivia Garcia-McKean was down 1-4 in the third after splitting the first two sets. Faced with several break points that would have put her down 1-5, Garcia-McKean held serve and went on to sweep the remaining games for an amazing 6-4 comeback.

"I was tired, but I knew we needed the win and my teammates support helped me get through it," Garcia-McKean said.

The number six match locked the score at 3-3 with one match still underway.

Freshman Lola Ajilore was playing at the no. 3 singles position. After winning the first set in a tiebreaker, she dropped the second 5-7 and found herself down 2-5 in the third.

It seemed as though magic was going to strike a second time for the Crimson as Ajilore made her way back to 4-5, saving several match points in the process. She couldn't quite pull off the comeback, however, and finally succumbed 4-6 in the third set.

"We lost some close matches [against B.C.]," Garcia-McKean said. "But the B.C. girls came out and played really well, you have to give them that."
