FLUSHING, N. Y. – Alabama women's tennis' No. 34 ranked doubles pair in senior Erin Routliffe and sophomore Andie Daniell won two matches to advance to the quarterfinals of the 2016 USTA/ITA National Indoor Championships on Friday afternoon at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y.
In the first match, the duo outlasted Southeastern Conference foe in Kentucky's Lesedi Jacobs and Justina Mikulskyte in a match that was decided in a tie breaker, 5-7, 7-5, 10-8.
Alabama's effective doubles pair used the win from the first round as momentum in the second match, as the pair defeated California's Maegan Mansse and Denise Starr in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4.
Routliffe and Daniell will take on Jada Hart and Ena Shibahara of UCLA Friday in quarterfinals in the third round. Match time is still to be determined.
