DURHAM, N.C. – Heading into the final matches of the regular season, the Duke women's tennis team moved up to No. 3 nationally this week as the Blue Devils feature a 13-match winning streak along with an 18-2 overall and 10-0 ACC ledger.
Duke currently sits first in the ACC with its 10-0 record and can clinch at least a share of the ACC regular season title with one victory this weekend.
In the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), singles rankings Duke continues to be the only school in the nation with six student-athletes ranked – Irina Balus (#18), Emma Jackson (#24), Liv Hovde (#54), Eleana Yu (#60), Shavit Kimchi (#83) and Ellie Coleman (#118).
Hovde, the ACC Freshman of the Week this week, moved up to a career-high ranking of No. 54, after totaling a win on Saturday against the 25th-ranked player nationally.
In doubles play, Duke's duo of Balus and Coleman are No. 15. The Blue Devils reached the 20-win mark over the weekend, after collecting a win over the 23rd-ranked doubles team in the nation of Stanford.
Duke hosts Florida State (April 12) and Miami (April 13) this weekend to wrap up the regular season at home at Ambler Tennis Stadium. Both matches feature an 11 a.m., first serve.
