Led by Metka Komac and Margarita Skriabina, Tech looked to have a path to the finals, as Komac won her opening set 6-0, before falling four and two in consecutive sets. Skriabina did improve to 5-0 this season against ranked opponents when she beat No. 44 Carolyn Campana 6-2, 6-2.
Sophomore Bojana Marinkov won her opening set 6-4 before dropping the second set 6-2. Her match was on serve in the third, before it was unfinished.
After falling to Wake, Tech returned to action against No. 44 Furman (9-5). Against the Paladins, the Lady Raiders also fell 4-2.
Furman took the early 1-0 lead when they won a pair of doubles matches 6-1 and 6-2.
Facing a hole, Tech got off to another strong start, winning four opening sets.
Skriabina kicked off the run with a 6-4 first set victory over No. 54 Julia Adams, before falling one and two in sets two and three. The loss was Skriabina's first against a ranked foe this season.
After dropping a tough three-setter to Wake, Komac bounced back to record a tidy 6-0, 6-4 victory.
