LWC Women's Tennis beats Brenau in dramatic fashion By Chris Wells Mobile, AL - Lindsey Wilson overcame a slow start to this morning's resumption of the suspended NAIA National Quarterfinals with a convincing finish to beat Brenau (Ga.) 5-3 at the Mobile Tennis Center. The fourth-seeded Blue Raiders (14-2) advance to a sixth-straight national semifinal where they face top-seeded Keiser (Fla.) at 1:15pmCT. While Lindsey Wilson began the morning leading 3-1 overall, there was still a lot of work to be done with the matches remaining teetering either way. Lindsey Wilson led by a set on two singles courts while trailing by a set on two courts. The final match was tied at one set each and very early in the third and final set. Brenau seized momentum from the first serve of the day. The Tigers grabbed a point with a tie-break win in the No. 6 singles match. Up a set and tied at 5-5 in the second set to start the day, Brenau's Kirsten Dickins eventually outlasted Gabriella Pedroza 7-3 in the tiebreak to pull the Tigers within 3-2 with the 6-2, 7-6 (3) win. Brenau's Peeraya Charoensirisuthlkul -- ranked No. 26 in the NAIA -- evened the team match at 3-3 with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Minja Gligic in the top-seeded match. While Brenau was winning on courts one and six, the Tigers were planting the seeds for a comeback win on the remaining three courts. Brenau's Maya Mammetgulyyeva -- who was down a set and tied with Lina Sachica Ramos 3-3 in the second set -- won three of four remaining games in the set to even the match with a 6-4 second-set win in the fourth-seeded match. Fiona Curty -- who won her opening set 6-3 on Thursday only to drop the second set to Rebecca Pijls -- won only one of the first five games to start the day and trailed 5-1 in the decisive third set on court three. Brenau's Paula Rives Palau forced a second-set tiebreak against Lucia Mora Diaz in the fifth-seeded match to continue the Tigers' resurgence. And then the match's momentum shifted, dramatically. Ramos -- who dropped the first game -- won the next three to take a 3-1 lead on court four. Diaz broke free from a 2-2 tiebreak to push her lead to 6-3, putting her on the verge of a win and giving the Blue Raiders the fourth overall point. Curty provided the most drama. The lone senior on the squad methodically turned the tables, breaking twice to get back on serve at 5-5 in the third set. Curty then took her first lead since the first set by breaking Pijls for a third-straight time to take a 6-5 lead. While Curty was coming all the back from a potential disappointing loss, Diaz finished off the tie-break win 7-3 to defeat Palau in straight sets 7-5, 7-6 (3) and give Lindsey Wilson a 4-3 lead. Curty's run came to an end while serving for the match, as Pijls broke back to force another tiebreaker. Curty did not lose another point. She blitzed through the tiebreak 7-0 to complete the improbable comeback with a 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (0) win. Ramos' match was halted once the Blue Raiders reached five team points. She led 4-3 in the third set when play was stopped. The match began on Thursday and was stopped twice for weather delays. Lindsey Wilson won two of the three doubles matches. Curty and Chiara Eplfani cruised to an 8-2 win over Palau and Patricia Recalde Pacua in the second-seeded match to give the Blue Raiders the 1-0 lead. Charoensirisuthlkul and Mammetgulyyeva defeated Gligic and Jovana Peric in the top-seeded match 8-6 to tie the team match at 1-1. Diaz and Ramos gave the Blue Raiders the 2-1 advantage with an 8-6 win over Pijls and Valentina Pabon in the third-seeded match. Peric provided the lone win in singles before last night's delay. She defeated Pacua 6-2, 6-2 in the second-seeded match to give Lindsey Wilson the 3-1 lead. Lindsey Wilson faces Keiser at 1:15pmCT today. This story was posted on 2018-05-18 14:47:18
