Emory University senior Gabrielle Clark led
the second-ranked Eagles to wins over three top-10 opponents,
recording perfect 3-0 records in the first singles and doubles
matches during the weekend. Clark opened the weekend with an
8-1 doubles win with partner Michelle Satterfield, and a 6-0, 6-3
win in singles over the sixth-ranked player in the Northeast
Region, leading the Eagles to a 9-0 win over eighth-ranked
Middlebury College on Friday. During Saturday’s 8-1
team win over fourth-ranked Amherst College, she became just the
third player in school history with 100 career doubles wins,
defeating the two-time National Champion and current top-ranked duo
in the Northeast, Jordan Brewer and Gabby Devlin, 8-2, followed by
a 6-1, 6-3 singles win over Brewer (ranked first in the
Northeast). Clark wrapped up the weekend by registering two
match victories during the Eagles’ 5-4 win over
seventh-ranked Bowdoin College, winning 8-5 with Satterfield over
the Northeast Region’s fourth-ranked duo, and 6-1, 7-6 (3)
over the 10th-ranked singles player. She now
stands at 10-4 in singles matches this season and at 15-6 in
doubles action for the campaign. Clark has helped the Eagles
win six-straight matches, including five-straight against Division
III teams ranked 11th or higher, as the squad improved
to 18-2 in 2014.
