Not knowing what the level of competition was for each player, but it is good to see the two freshmen at the top of the results. Sonja is from Sweden. Nella is from Peru. Still no seniors on the team.

Dominated the doubles, and swept the singles without losing a set.

Could have, and maybe should have, won the doubles point.

2-0 in conference. Home matches on Saturday and Monday. (Weird SLC schedule that was set before we became a member.)

Having a coach in place for a little while helps! Who would have thought. Great to see our tennis program back and solid. The SLC is a way better fit than the WAC for the vast majority of our programs. And I was a skeptic.

Congrats to the ladies.

Nothing has been posted yet (I think all of the externals are in Lake Charles), but the Ladyjacks beat UTRGV 6-1, to go to 8-4 (3-0) on the season. We only lost one set over the six singles matches. Unquestionably the best team we have had in years. No seniors on the team.

Let's hope they hang around for a while. It seems as though these ladies from other lands get homesick easily and fly away after a year or so.

While nobody was watching, our Ladyjacks went to 5-0 in conference. Over those five matches, they have outscored their opponents 34-1. Four of the five matches were on the road.

The women are doing great, and I am glad to see it! I love tennis and wish the men's team was still around also. It was my favorite sport in High School which I played. I have a 14 year old that is doing very well but we don't have a men's team unfortunately anymore.

Always thought men's tennis should be part of our varsity sports. Just too much Title IX pressure. If baseball was ever deemed unworkable , I would hope tennis would get a look.

The current administration is clearly committed to baseball.

Freshman, Sonja Rooth with the deciding match in the 4-3 win over NSU. Three way tie for the SLC championship with NSU and Corpus. It is my understanding that, in this situation, the tie breaker goes to the team with the most 7-0 wins. That is the Ladyjacks.

This has been an outstanding year for the Ladyjacks under some quite challenging circumstances. (Don't ask.)

Congrats to the tennis team! What a remarkable improvement this year!

When we lost to Corpus by 4-3, our #3 singles and half of our #1 doubles, Jemma Cave, was out. So, two of our doubles teams were not the normal pairings, and from four on in singles all played up one spot. I feel good about this if we win the doubles point. Ksenia, Sonja, and Jemma in particular are playing at a high level right now.

This is a chance for our fourth women's team to play NCAA post season following soccer, WBB, and bowling. Volleyball also played post season in the NIVC.

Women's tennis has really improved over the past few years.

Awesome job.

I didn't see the head coach for the post match interview. Looked like the lead assistant.
