No. 29 Syracuse tennis lost to No. 1 North Carolina, 6-1, inside the Drumlins Country Club on Sunday morning.
The Tar Heels (22-0, 7-0 ACC) won the doubles point in 26 minutes, with Reese Brantmeier/Elizabeth Scotty (UNC) taking down Miyuka Kimoto/Zeynep Erman, 6-0.

In singles play, Kanapatskaya lost to No. 15 Brantmeier (UNC) in straight sets (6-1,6-0), and Erman played No. 1 Crawley (UNC) well, losing 6-3, 6-1. Erman's loss sealed the duel for the Tar Heels, but the remaining three matches were played out.
Polina Kozyreva was defeated for just the third time all season, dropping her games, 6-2, 6-2, to Anika Yarlagadda (UNC). Ito played Reilly Tran tough, ultimately losing 6-4, 6-4. In the last match of the day, Kimoto salvaged a point for Syracuse (11-5, 4-5 ACC), defeating No. 18 Abbey Forbes (UNC) 7-5, 5-7, 10-8.
