Commencement Comeback: UNC women's tennis rallies past Duke

Posted May 14, 2007

Sara Anundsen and Jenna Long, the No. 2 doubles team in the nation, trailed Duke's tandem of Daniela Bercek and Melissa Mang 6-1 after dropping five consecutive games. Anundsen was serving, and UNC was down Love-40 -- five points away from losing the match. What followed was a memorable comeback that gave the No. 11 Tar Heels the doubles point -- and all the momentum in the match -- as they beat No. 22 Duke 4-1 at Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center.
