The University of Miami women's tennis team opened play Friday at the ITA Southeast Regional Championships Presented by Oracle.
The Hurricanes posted a 5-2 record, including a 3-2 mark in singles play, at the Ken Byers Tennis Complex on the campus of Georgia Tech.
"[Yuna] Ito played a solid first-round match today against FSU. She fought hard and made some changes midway through the match that had a positive effect on the outcome," Miami head coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tews said. "[Ana] Madcur is playing outstanding tennis. She's thinking for herself in big moments and keeping an open mind deep into points."
Miami opened the day with a pair of narrow victories in the opening round of doubles play. Juniors Ito and Estela Perez-Somarriba eked past USF's Vanja Klaric and Nicole Dzenga, 8-7 (7-4).
Meanwhile, Madcur, a senior, and freshman Lucia Marzal Martinez defeated UCF's duo of Sara Culbertson, a former Miami player, and Valentina Martin, 8-6.
The Hurricanes won two of their three first-round singles matchups, including Ito notching a victory in her first-career contest against a ranked foe at the Division I level.
Facing No. 55 Ana Oparenovic of Florida State, the tournament's third seed, Ito dropped the first set before rebounding for a comeback triumph, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Madcur eased past Georgia State's Arielle Nealy, 6-2, 6-1, to open her tournament singles ledger. Additionally, Marzal Martinez, seeded No. 9-16, fell to Florida State's Julia Mikulski, 5-7, 3-6.
Miami split its two second-round main draw matches, with Madcur posting a stellar 6-4, 6-3 victory over UCF's Domenika Turkovic, seeded No. 9-16. Ito dropped her outing against Rafaela Gomez of North Florida, 6-3, 1-6, 1-6.
"Tomorrow is a new day and we're looking [forward] to moving through new challenges," Yaroshuk-Tews said."

Go - you still don’t get it. Ohio State is a power house that will lose sometimes but always plays to try to crush their opponents- always fun to watch
The total opposite of our head coach! Richt makes offense terribly offensive to watch!
IMO

All u have to do is watch Richt at his post game press conference last week and U can see why, we are sleep walking on offense. The dude shows no emotion. No big deal that we sucked, no finger pointing, no getting upset, just emotionaless.
How can the players get up for a game, if u have a coach is stoic. Nick Saban wins by forty and he's not pleased with the tackling in the secondary.

This week marks three years since GD's slurp job failed to buy fatso another full year of failures, so to commemorate it's time to go back and enjoy some of this sid-tard's stupidest posts in the history of the blob, for instance;
https://canespace.typepad.com/canespace/2015/09/riding-the-storm-out.html#comments
"Why did someone have to shock jock his ass?
Because he didn't know this is a make or break year for him? Or did big fat dOnut, who didn't play football btw (we all know by now this criteria is a must to know anything), knows more about football than our coach?
One is 3-1 against GT, the other is an overweight, pony tail wearing radio host.
I'll take my chances with the former.

Never even got that fatso reach around before he was dismissed did you GD? Too bad you didn't perish out of shame trying to use a college program running a high school offense as your measuring bar on the ground from that failure all around . . .

Per a poster on 247, from a reliable source, Richt will have to hire an OC but will be allowed to call plays the rest of the season. A different poster in the same thread said that was the 2nd source that he has heard that from. At the end of the thread, the same poster who started it, said he just got another call from yet another reliable source confirming the Same thing. Just passing information dudes. Praying this is true

I guess Richt thought he was saving us some dough by naming himself O.C. We all know how that has turned out. The thing that could happen to this program, is for it to hire a Real OC, dump Searles, who can't coach water, get a special teams coach and relieve his son of whatever duties he has right now, Oh a so called QB coach and we also need one of those, that's if we have any QB's left, to take snaps next year.

What if Richt unexpectedly retires... Diaz gets promoted to head coach... Diaz brings in a proven LB/ST coach, Fisch as OC and Dorsey as QBC.
How do yall think that staff would do?

roach,

Posted by: solarcane | October 21, 2018 at 02:23 PM
Yes... TOO many "ifs" over the years... (The door opens, and WE back out, instead of stepping in.)
Sad, because CMR STILL doesn't seem to "get" that he's got a defense that every team in the nation would DIE for, and yet his insists on driving our Ferrari offense at about 40MPH in the I-95 fast lane! He JUST doesn't see it, or he DOES see it, and is too stubborn to find a REAL driver to step on the accelerator!
Posted by: roachcane77 | October 21, 2018 at 06:52 PM
Solar and Go,
Although I don’t think CMR will bring in an OC at this point in the middle of the season, it is fun to talk and dream about.
IMHO, we are stuck with CMR, JR and these QBs. They will either figure it out or struggle on offense. If they don’t figure it out this season, we might see some changes on the offensive coaching staff in the offseason.

I took riducule for suggesting Richt could retire unexpectedly a few seasons ago.
I don’t think it is highly likely, but dude be looking tired as hell.
All these years in the grinder take a toll.
But he still may have a lot to prove in his mind. However his faith may allow him to see the “bigger picture” like Soup mentioned last year.
Nothing would surprise me at this point.
I think the staff you suggested would do well, but Diaz would be a rookie hc. There would be hiccups.
I wonder who would be dc and call that side of the ball under him..

Everybody Suck.

Posted by: SOUP | October 21, 2018 at 09:19 PM
Everyone on the Awfensive side of the ball should be welcoming a new set eyes. Many of the coaches are younger, Brown, Hartley, Jon. They know the O isnt working and the wheels are just spinning out. If Brown wants to become a real OC or a HC one day, he should welcome taking a step back, same for Hartley. And if Mark is serious about his son becoming an OC one day, then he needs to swallow his pride and bring in help. Thats just the greedy side of things, not the right side of things, which means putting The U first, ahead of your vanity and ego. Imagine thinking you know how to OC after this year... hire an OC Richt, put The U 1st.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | October 21, 2018 at 09:31 PM
He does see it.
When he came here he said calling plays again refreshed and invigorated him.
Every person on this blog can call plays and be invigorated.
Richt thought his hometown boy, and God fearing humble personality was all he was going to need to hang here.
He should have donated a million and signed up as Chaplin in waiting.
He knows, that we know, he knows time is tight.

Richt is the facility enriching version of Butch Davis.
Richt has done great in helping update the U, sell tickets, give the program a healthy image.
The next guy will inherit a good place to coach.
Unfortunately Cleveland isn't going to call anytime soon.
Posted by: solarcane | October 21, 2018 at 09:49 PM
I am not SURE that he sees it.
I think he is somewhat protected or insulated (read: blinded) from the truth simply because he wants it to be the way he thinks it SHOULD be rather than the way it actually is.
Has Richt come out and said anything that indicates that he "gets it"? I have not seen it if so. Here is what I do know:
1. Hiring your son, even IF he is qualified for the job, is not the decision of a wise man with extensive experience in coaching.
2. Hiring your son, who is in fact unqualified and is failing, and hanging on to him after this season is in effect signing your pink slip.
3. I am sure Thomas Brown is a nice guy as is Ron Dugans. Neither are qualified to have the term "Offensive Coordinator" at a school like Miami next to their names either by title or function.
4. The former recruiting coordinator at Georgia and current "Special Teams" coach at Miami, Todd Hartley, may in fact be a great recruiter but a special teams coach he is not just based on PERFORMANCE alone, no opinions needed.
Either Mork, ooops I mean Mark, gets this right before next season or the tide will turn against him as it has against so many others. All of the excitement and enthusiasm will be lost due to his inaction and the next 2-3 years will be more misery before the plug is pulled.
We have seen this movie before and the sequel or re-runs are nothing any of us ever want to see again. The delicious hot buttery popcorn will eventually go cold, dry and stale and the ending credits will read the same.
