MACON, Ga. – The Troy women's tennis team got off to a strong start on Saturday morning but couldn't close things out as it fell to Mercer 4-3 at the LeRoy Peddy Tennis Center.
Troy (1-3) came out on fire in doubles play, quickly winning two of the three matches to take an early 1-0 advantage. Leena Metwally and Hagar Ramadan-Amin put together a strong 6-2 win on in the No. 3 spot, before Valeriia Avdeeva and Maria Guirguis secured the first point of the match with a 6-2 win in the top spot to give the Trojans the early advantage. Going into Saturday, Troy was 1-0 this season when winning the doubles point.
The Trojans strong play carried over into singles, as Avdeeva quickly pushed the lead to 2-0 with a 6-3, 6-1 win in the No. 4 singles spot. Troy got within one point of the match victory as Ramadan-Amin followed with a 6-4, 6-1 win on court 5 to make it 3-0 in favor of Troy.
However, Mercer (1-4) turned it on late, winning the remaining four matches to pull off the comeback victory. The matches in the No. 2, 3 and 6 spots went to three sets, but Troy was unable to find the decisive win to get its first road victory of the year.
Up Next
The Trojans are back in action on Sunday afternoon in Montgomery, as they take on Alabama State. First serve is set for 1 p.m., and there will be no live stats or stream available.
