WEYMOUTH, Mass. – The Boston University women's tennis team (4-2, 1-0 PL) fell 7-0 to Boston College (7-1, 0-0 ACC) on Friday. In the loss, BU picked up a win in doubles and sent three singles matches to three sets.
 
In doubles, BC quickly got the win at the No. 1 spot but grad student Shelly Yaloz and sophomore Michelle Kleynerman fought hard at No. 2. They topped their BC opponents 6-3 to have the doubles point be decided at the No. 3 spot. Ultimately, BC grabbed the final doubles match to lead 1-0 going into singles.
 
BC went on to win on Court 1 in straight sets, but BU battled before the match would be decided.
