No. 12 Michigan Upsets No. 17 Florida, Punches Ticket to NCAA Third Round

Lily Jones rallies from slow start to clinch 4-2 victory as Wolverines advance to face North Carolina

ANN ARBOR, Mich. | The Michigan Wolverines women's tennis is moving on — and doing it with grit.

In a high-stakes NCAA Tournament showdown, No. 12 Michigan knocked off No. 17 Florida Gators women's tennis 4-2 on Sunday at the Varsity Tennis Center, advancing to the third round for the fourth consecutive season.

The hero? Lily Jones.

With the match hanging in the balance after Florida trimmed Michigan’s lead to 3-2, Jones delivered a dramatic comeback at No. 1 singles. After dropping the first set and falling behind 2-0 in the second, she flipped the script in dominant fashion — winning 12 of the next 13 games to secure the clinching point in a 3-6, 6-2, 6-1 victory.

Doubles Drama Sets the Tone

Michigan’s path to victory began with a gritty doubles point that showcased its resilience under pressure.

After Florida struck first at No. 2 doubles, the Wolverines responded in dramatic fashion. The No. 3 duo of Piper Charney and Emily Sartz-Lunde battled through a tense tiebreak to win 7-6 (2), while Jessica Bernales and Jones sealed the point at No. 1 with a marathon tiebreak victory — converting on their ninth match point to give Michigan a 1-0 lead.
