WEYMOUTH, Mass. – The Boston University women's tennis team fell in a 5-2 decision to local rival Boston College on Friday.
 
The Eagles secured the doubles point, but they were not completely uncontested. BU earned a doubles win at line two thanks to junior Michelle Kleynerman and freshman Uma Bakaityte in a 6-2 decision. Unfortunately, it would not be enough to swing momentum in BU's favor.
 
The Terriers got on the board first in singles with a win at the No. 3 spot. Senior Kaitlin Tan blanked her opponent 6-0, 6-0 to give BU its first point of the match.
 
Fortune favored BC through the next three singles matches as it clinched the match win with victories at the Nos. 5, 6 and 1 spots, respectively. The Eagles also picked up a win at the No. 4 spot to bring their total points to five.
 
BU earned one final point from senior Victoria Carlsten at line two. After dropping the first set 6-3, she won the second 6-3 to force a super tiebreak. The senior collected the 1-0 (4) win to give BU its second and final point of the match.
 
The Terriers return to action on Saturday, Feb. 17, with a trip to Charlotte. First serve is set for 11 a.m.
