The Tarheel pair would storm back and take the second set, 6-1, to force the decisive final set.
Into the third set super tiebreaker for the second straight day, the TCU pair came out on top and pulled out the victory, 10-6, to win their ninth match of the fall season and close out the indoor championships with a victory.
Quotes from the Day
Head Coach Lee Taylor Walker
"Today's match was really fun and it had lots of contrasting styles. Seda and Caroline held their composure well throughout lots of momentum changes. The UNC team they faced won their regional championships in a tough region to make it to New York, so it is a solid win that should pay dividends all season. I am really proud of how Seda and Caroline finished up their fall season. They learned that they can play with anybody and if they keep improving, they will have great opportunities in the spring and hopefully postseason."
