May 27, 2021 Record Number Of Seminoles Wrap Up NCAA Championship Individual Play
Tallahassee, FL – Florida State sent four student-athletes to the NCAA Individual Championships, the most in program history, and also set the program record for the number of All-America honors secured with three. Giulia Pairone was seeded in the NCAA Tournament Singes Championship and joined in singles competition by Emmanuelle Salas. Nandini Das and Andrea Garcia competed in the NCAA Doubles Championships.
Garcia and Das advanced to the quarterfinals as one of eight doubles pairs remaining in title contention equaling the furthest any FSU doubles team has advanced in the NCAA Tournament in program history. The only other pair of Seminoles to advance to the NCAA Quarterfinals previously were Audra Brannon and Laura Randmaa in 1993.
Orlando, FL – Nandini Das and Andrea Garcia are the longest-tenured members of the FSU women’s tennis team. The redshirt seniors came in to the program together in 2016 and they are not only the last two Seminoles still competing but both are now All-Americans. Das and Garcia became the seventh and eighth All-Americans in FSU women’s tennis history and the second pair of All-Americans in the last two seasons after advancing to the NCAA Doubles Championship Quarterfinals Tuesday night.
“This honor is an additional accolade which continues to top off two amazing careers,” said FSU Head Coach Jen Hyde. “They have helped elevate our program so much in their time wearing the Florida State jersey and to confirm their All-America honors with last night’s win is just more validation to their hard work and dedication to our program. What’s great is they aren’t satisfied yet and want to keep pushing forward in this event and make another statement in their amazing careers.�
Tallahassee, FL – For the third time under head coach Jen Hyde and the second time in the last three NCAA Tournaments, the FSU Women’s Tennis team is headed to the Round of 16. Florida State started strong and then had to fend off a late push by No. 19 Auburn before taking the match 4-1 to move on to Lake Nona with a trip to the quarterfinals up next.
“That was an absolute battle, which is what we expected,” said Hyde. “It didn’t disappoint. I think today we got tougher and we were forced to get tougher by Auburn. They did a fantastic job. They fought so hard but at the end of the day, we fought a little harder at a couple of spots and were able to hang in there a little bit longer in some of the matches. We came up big in a couple different tiebreakers and in doubles. We overcame some deficits and fought our way back in.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. The No. 4 ranked Florida State women’s tennis earns a thrilling 4-3 win over No. 22 Miami on senior day.
“What an unbelievable roller coaster of a win,” said Head Coach Jennifer Hyde. “I thought we maybe played some of the best doubles that we’ve played so far this season, across-the-board. Miami came out very hot in singles, made a ton of balls, and jumped out to four first sets. But our girls showed some incredible determination and resiliency tonight and found ways to get three more points on the board. Petra was an absolute warrior to find her way back 6 match points down, down 2-5 in the 3rd set to clinch. College tennis…there’s absolutely nothing like it.”
