Â
"We fought hard and took great steps forward today in singles, working on our processes and staying focused with them more consistently," said second-year head coach Susanne Depka, who collected her 25th win. "We will learn from today and hope to improve a little bit more going into this weekend! I was very happy with our mentality today!!"
Â
Have split her first two sets, 6-2 and 1-6, Abele found herself down 3-1 in the third set when the team match was tied at 3-all. The junior fought back and won the next five consecutive games to secure the win and clinch the match. She moved to 11-5 on the season with the victory, which was her third straight.
