MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis women's tennis seeks to extend its win streak to three matches when the Tigers host in-state foe Middle Tennessee Friday morning.
First serve from the Racquet Club of Memphis is set for 10:30 a.m. Admission to all U of M home matches is free.
The Tigers (10-7, 2-3) return to the court after posting a pair of league wins last weekend. The Tigers downed ECU, 4-2, before knocking off Tulane, 5-2, to cap the weekend.
Senior Anki Wind, who was named this week's American Athletic Conference women's tennis player of the week, posted a 4-0 record in her last two outings. The Dinslaken, Germany native also picked up her first ranked win of the season in singles play when she defeated ECU's then-53rd-ranked Celia Ruiz in straight sets.
Classmate Hanna Sohn extended her singles win streak to three matches after a pair of wins last weekend, while sophomore Katherine Cao registered her team-leading seventh consecutive win after a singles victory against the Green Wave.
Laura Bente and Alisha Reayer also enjoyed successful weekends in conference play. The freshmen recorded a combined 5-2 week with four wins in singles. Reayer provided the clinch for the Tigers against ECU, while Bente followed the effort by going the distance to clinch the match for Memphis against Tulane.
For the Blue Raiders (12-5,1-1), junior Kim Kermet leads the way with a 10-4 ledger in singles, while freshman Zani Barnard boasts a 9-1 mark. In doubles, Middle Tennessee is led by duo Kermet and Luisa Zirilli, who have compiled a 6-2 record at the top spot.
Although the Blue Raiders lead the all-time series by a 15-11 margin, the Tigers have claimed five of the last six meetings.
