February 21, 2010
Gainesville, Ga- The Brenau tennis team took on NCAA III Emory on Saturday and came up just short in a five hour marathon battle 5-4. The Tigers led the match 2-1 after doubles play after Lyn See Choo/Kate Mazackova defeated McManigle/Dawson 8-1 and Jolene Wong/Liubov Orlova bested Rogers/Wylie 8-3. Eline Nagels/Hannah Thompson lost to Vrabec/Reidenbach 8-2. Emory was able to make up the deficit in singles play by winning four of the six matches to take the win. With the match tied at 4-4 Eline Nagels was locked in a battle with Vrabec in the last match on the court.
