The UNC women’s tennis team’s NCAA Tournament run came to a premature end on Friday night at the Chewning Tennis Center, as No. 13 Texas A&M ended the Tar Heels’ hopes of a second consecutive national title with a 4-1 win in the round of 16. Carolina’s season is over.
The Aggies won the doubles point thanks to a 7-4 victory in a winner-take-all tiebreaker on Court No. 1 against the pair of Fiona Crawley and Carson Tanguilig. Things didn’t turn around for that duo in singles, as Crawley won her first set 6-2 but proceeded to lose the next two 0-6, 2-6. Tanguilig won her second set 7-5 after dropping the first but fell in the third.
UNC’s only point of the match came thanks to Thea Rabman’s straight-sets victory on Court No. 6. But the Aggies got the clinching point on Court No. 1, as Elizabeth Scotty dropped two hard-fought sets, 4-6, 6-7.
The loss is Carolina’s first ever at home since its facility was christened the Chewning Tennis Center, and its first home loss of any kind since March 24, 2018. In that time span, UNC had won 95 consecutive home matches. This is also the first tournament since 2018 in which the Tar Heels won’t appear in the national quarterfinals.
