The Tech women's tennis team lost to Wake Forest in a 4-1 decision this past Thursday, which ended up knocking the Hokies (13-11, 3-8 ACC) out of the ACC Championships in the opening round.
With their win, the Demon Deacons' record improved to 13-11.
A week prior to the first round of the ACC Championships, Tech had defeated Wake by a 5-2 score. In that initial match-up between the two teams, the Hokies were able to jump to an early start by taking the doubles point and three of four singles matches.
When it came time for the rematch, the Demon Deacons flipped the script and took the doubles point by earning wins in both matches.
The Hokies' pairing of senior Jessica Brouwer and sophomore Holly Johnson entered its match ranked No. 72 nationally, but was defeated, 8-5.
Of the four singles matches completed, senior Inga Beermann won the lone match for the Hokies as she beat No. 56 ranked Sasha Kuilkova 4-6, 6-1, and 6-0.
Wake would end up losing in the second round to top seeded Miami, 4-0. Claiming the ACC Championship would be the Duke Blue Devils, as they edged out the top seeded Hurricanes, 4-3, in the finals match.
