The first shutout of the first round of the ITA Women's Team Indoor didn't occur until the sixth match, with the No. 6 seeded North Carolina Tar Heels blanking Texas A&M 4-0 in a match delayed until 5 p.m. due to the length of the first two matches on the back courts.
The doubles point came down to a tiebreaker, with Lauren McHale and Tessa Lyons of North Carolina taking it over the Deheza twins at No. 3, after the Aggies had taken the match on court 1 and the Tar Heels has won on court 2.
The bottom half of the Tar Heels order got the job done in singles, with Tessa Lyons defeating Anna Mamalat 6-3, 6-2 at No. 6, Lauren McHale downing Maria Deheza at No. 4 and Caroline Price clinching at line 5 over Stefania Hristov 6-2, 6-4. Only one match was into a third set when Price completed the North Carolina victory.
The Tar Heels will meet No. 3 seed USC Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
