Tennessee is ranked 14th in the nation and seeded 13th in the tournament ... Virginia Commonwealth is ranked 24th in the nation and not seeded in the tournament ... Both teams were coming off upsets over top five seeded teams on Thursday (VCU d. #5 Duke; Tennessee d. #4 Vanderbilt) ... Tennessee's Alison Ojeda clinched the match at No. 2 singles by winning the final four games of the third set ... Virginia Commonwealth, who upset 12th seeded South Carolina on the road in the second round, was making its first-ever NCAA Quarterfinal appearance ... Tennesee, which is one of three Southeastern Conference schools to reach the semifinals, will face Florida on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. at the Taube Tennis Center ... Tennessee is making its first NCAA Semifinal appearance in school history. Virginia Commonwealth Head Coach Paul Kostin - "I give all the credit to Tennesseee. They dug down and won a tough match. But I also give credit to our team. It looked pretty bad there for awhile early in singles, but we battled back and I thought we might be able to pull it out. We couldn't do it, but we sure gave it a great effort." Tennessee Co-Head Coach Mike Patrick - "This is incredible for Tennessee. We just have a special group of kids who have stepped up again. After doubles we came back with just enough intensity, and used our heart to bring it home." | |
