By Joey Jones. ELON, N.C. — App State tennis standout Savannah Dada-Mascoll powered the Mountaineers to wins in both her singles and doubles matches on the road Sunday, but App State fell 4-3 to Elon.
App State (3-4) claimed the doubles point early after Dada-Mascoll teamed up with Naledi Manyube to win 6-3 on court one, and Maggie Pate and Taya Powell clinched the team point on court two with a dramatic 7-6 (11-9) finish in a tiebreaker.
With Powell unavailable for singles action, App State’s lineup fell just short of being able to come through for the team victory over Elon (6-4).
Dada-Mascoll earned a 6-4, 6-4 win over Elon’s top player Sibel Tanik on court one, giving the Mountaineers’ ace her fourth straight singles win in the last four team matches.
Pate captured App State’s other point with her 6-2, 6-1 singles win on court two. She has now won her singles match in five of the last six outings.
Up Next
After playing the last four matches on the road, the Mountaineers return home for back-to-back home matches on Friday against Duquesne and Saturday against Western Carolina. Stay tuned for updates on the location of those matches.
