Duke takes pair over weekend

The Blue Devils ended their season with a win Sunday, topping Georgia Tech, 4-3, at Ambler Tennis Stadium to send seniors David Goulet and Alex Stone out on top.

After taking an early 3-0 lead, Duke (9-12, 6-5 in the ACC) looked to secure the clinching point. But the Yellow Jackets (13-11, 3-8) won two matches in a row before junior Kiril Dimitrov took his match in a second-set tie-break, 6-3, 7-6 (7-3).

Reid Carleton gave the Blue Devils a point at the second-singles spot when his opponent retired while trailing 4-1 in the first set. Freshman Alain Michel, who won all three of his matches after earning a singles spot earlier in the week, took a 6-2, 6-4 decision to give Duke its other singles point.

Goulet and Christopher Price teamed to win their doubles match, 9-8, to clinch the doubles point for Duke. Dimitrov and Carleton edged their competition, 8-4, at the second-singles spot earlier.

On Friday, Duke routed Clemson (15-18, 1-9), 6-1, also at Ambler.

Five singles players won, while the Blue Devils swept the three doubles matches.
