WACO, Texas \u2013 The women\u2019s tennis doubles team of Beatrice Gumulya<\/a> and Jessy Rompies<\/a> won their Sweet 16 match of the NCAA Doubles Championships on Friday at the Hurd Tennis Center on Baylor University\u2019s campus. With the win, the duo moves to 29-5 and advances to the Elite Eight of the tournament to be played on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Gumulya and Rompies, ranked No. 4 in the country and seeded 4th<\/sup> in the tournament, defeated No. 19 Guiliana Olmos and Zoe Scandalis of Southern Cal 6-4, 6-3 in straight sets to punch their ticket to the third round. The teams swapped games in the first set before Clemson\u2019s momentum took over at the end of the set to propel them to a 6-4 win. In the second set, the Tiger duo went up 5-1 before Southern Cal won the next two games to tighten the match. Gumulya and Rompies gained back control and won the second set 6-3, clinching the win.<\/p>\n

Joana Eidukonyte<\/a>\u2019s impressive season came to an end in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Singles Championships as the junior fell to No. 7 Jamie Loeb of North Carolina. Eidukonyte, ranked No. 12 nationally, fought hard through two rain delays but Loeb\u2019s momentum powered her to a 6-3, 6-1 win. The native of Vilnius, Lithuania and First Team All-ACC member finishes the year at 37-7 and is tied for sixth in Clemson history for most singles wins in a season.<\/p>\n

Gumulya and Rompies return to action Friday in the Elite Eight against the winner of Manasse\/Starr (California) and Davidson\/Zhao of Stanford. The time is yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
