three-match skid, Georgia Tech’s best doubles team could easily put the road team in the driver’s seat for the doubles point. The Yellow Jackets are just as strong in singles. Georgia Tech (22-2, 12-0) has four players with a mark of 9-2 or better in ACC singles, and has consistently controlled the middle courts like the Blue Devils. Two of those players are No. 81 Hourigan, who is 8-3 against all opponents on Court 3, and Jones, who owns a 16-5 record on Court 4. The rest of the Duke lineup will also have its hands full, as No. 36 Chi—a consistent presence on Court 2—will likely be locked against No. 93 Johnnise Renaud. Although she is not ranked as high, Renaud is 10-1 in conference play, including wins against Boston College’s Lexi Borr and Wake Forest’s Emma Davis—players who upset Chi earlier this spring. The Yellow Jackets also boast a player who is unbeaten in league action in Nami Otsuka, who has lost just once on Court 5 this season. With both of Duke’s lower-court players—Hamlin and Smith—reeling from lopsided losses Wednesday, Georgia Tech will likely be licking its chops after using its strength on the bottom courts to stun North Carolina earlier this season. “I told them each that they have individual things they obviously need to do better, but we have to prepare to play Friday [first], and that has to be our focus,” Ashworth said. “If we don’t, we’re going to be in a five-hour match with Louisville, and we need to be as efficient and smart as we can.”

slipped past the Blue Devils 10-9 at Koskinen Stadium April 2—defeated the then-No. 2 Tar Heels 13-11 in Chapel Hill last weekend, snapping their 18-game ACC winning streak dating back to 2015. North Carolina is now locked in a tight race with the Orange for the ACC crown. Both teams have only suffered a single loss in ACC play with just one contest remaining. If both teams win Saturday, the regularseason title goes to Syracuse because of the head-to-head tiebreaker. If the Orange lose at Louisville, however, the Tar Heels will once again get the No. 1 seed in next week’s NCAA tournament. Duke (8-7, 1-5) has seen almost the opposite trajectory to North Carolina’s. After starting the season with four consecutive wins, the Blue Devils emerged victorious in just one of their next six games. The low point of its season came when Duke fell out of the rankings after a blowout loss at thenNo. 13 Pennsylvania. The Blue Devils then failed to recover for their next contest and suffered an embarrassing 18-5 loss to thenNo. 20 Virginia March 25. Other than a narrow defeat of then-No. 16 Elon four days later and an upset at thenNo.14 Boston College April 8, Duke has failed to amass quality wins and subsequently finds its postseason prospects hanging in the balance. The Blue Devils currently sit just outside the top 20, with only 26 teams making the NCAA tournament. But after dropping a disappointing 12-10 decision at No. 17 Northwestern Saturday, Duke ripped off of a 20-goal victory against Presbyterian Monday night to build some positive momentum. The Blue Devils’ offensive onslaught featured 11 different
