Spotlight on Duke Women’s Tennis Team: A Season Recap and Look Ahead
The Duke women’s tennis team has had a rollercoaster of a season, with grad transfer Brianna Shvets emerging as a standout player for the Blue Devils. Shvets, originally from Pennington, N.J, transferred to Duke after a successful stint at Princeton and has made a significant impact on the team this season.
With a win total of 14 on the season, Shvets has been a crucial factor in Duke’s victories, with the team coming out on top in each of her eight victories since the start of March. Despite the team’s struggles this season, Shvets has been a consistent performer, showcasing her competitive fire and determination on the court.
However, the Blue Devils faced a tough loss against North Carolina in the second round of the ACC tournament, with the Tar Heels securing a 4-0 victory. Despite the team’s overall performance, Shvets continued to shine, with her match against Thea Rabman remaining unfinished tied at one set a piece.
As the collegiate sports spring season comes to an end, the Blue Devils will have one last chance to turn their season around in the NCAA tournament in May. With Shvets leading the charge, Duke will look to finish the season on a high note and showcase their resilience on the court.
