CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Members of the Duke women's tennis team played deep into the singles and doubles main draws of the 2014 USTA/ITA Regional Championships, however the Blue Devils were unable to advance to the championship round of the five-day tournament.
The doubles tandem of senior Ester Goldfeld and sophomore Alyssa Smith dropped a hard-fought semi-final round contest against Ashley Dai and Kate Vialle of North Carolina, 6-4, 5-7, 1-0 (7). The loss marked just the second time this season Goldfeld and Smith suffered a defeat, with the pair concluding the weekend's competition with a season record of 3-2.
