North Carolina senior Sarah Hawkins was the only Tar Heel to fall in singles as UNC crushed Furman
on Monday. Hawkins dropped her match to Sara Rosenblum 7-6,6-3.
Tar Heel Netters Pound Paladins
By Adam Pom
Staff Writer
With three victories in a row against
top-30 opponents and No. 2 Duke tot
ing its 109-game ACC winning streak in
to Chapel Hill on Wednesday, North
Carolina’s
women’s ten
nis team
could have
overlooked
Furman.

But that wasn’t on UNC’s agenda.
From top to bottom, the Tar Heels
savored the role of favorite by blistering
the Paladins 7-2 to extend their winning
streak to four matches.
“The girls enjoy being the favorite,”
UNC coach Roland Thomqvist said.
The match was clinched in singles
play, as the Tar Heels (9-3) snagged five
of six matches.
UNC freshman Caroline Hill defeat
ed Megan Dunigan 6-2,5-7,7-5 at No. 2
singles to earn UNC’s fifth point of the
match and clinch the Tar Heel win.
Hill came out of the blocks hot, win
ning the first set handily and leading 4-
0 in the second set. But Dunigan would
not go down easily, going on a momen
tum-shifting run that captured the sec
ond set 7-5.
But the match’s crucial moments
took place with the two players tied at
4-4 in the final set. Dunigan’s critical
double fault set up a break point for
Hill, and Hill capitalized.
But Hill could not secure the victory
as Dunigan broke serve, fighting off a
match point in the process to even the
set at 5-5.
The resilient Hill broke serve again,
claiming a 6-5 lead she would not relin
quish as she made easy work of
Dunigan in her second attempt to serve
for the match.
“1 wasn’t feeling very well out there,”
Hill said, “but the key for me was men
tal not physical.”
Hill was suffering from a strep throat
virus that caused her to sit out her
scheduled doubles match.
UNC’s top-positioned player Jessica
Zaganczyk didn’t have an easy time
with Furman’s Meredith Moore, finally
discarding her 6-4, 7-5.
‘Jessica didn’t have her top game
today, but she fought through it,”
Thomqvist said. “Her opponent never
allowed her to gain momentum.”
Zaganczyk’s power from the baseline
ran Moore silly in the match’s final
games, wearing her out to secure the
win.
In other singles matches, UNC’s No.
4, 5 and 6 players - junior Cena
Hackler, Courtney Zalinski and Jeni
Burnette - dominated Furman without
surrendering a set.
