Irish advance in ACC tournament
Observer Staff Report | Friday, April 25, 2014
The first day of the ACC tournament saw No. 7-seed Notre Dame seal a 4-0 victory over 10th-seeded Boston College on Thursday at Cary Tennis Park in Cary, N.C., setting up a Friday meeting with second-seeded Miami (FL).
Irish senior Britney Sanders connects on a shot during Notre Dame’s 4-3 win over Indiana on Feb. 2.
Notre Dame then earned another quick point because the Eagles (14-9, 6-7 ACC) did not have a complete lineup with Salonen injured and forfeited the sixth singles position.
Irish senior Brittany Sanders followed with a 6-3, 6-1 singles victory over junior Jessica Wacnik, and freshman Monica Robinson clinched the match with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Safron.
The singles matches of Kellner, sophomore Quinn Gleason and freshman Mary Closs went unfinished.
The Irish lost to the Hurricanes (18-4, 12-2 ACC) earlier in the year, 6-1, in Coral Gables, Fla. The quarterfinals match will begin at 11:30 a.m. Friday in Cary, N.C.
