Box Score DALLAS, Texas – The Wichita State women's tennis team continued its fall ramp-up with three days of hidden duals at the SMU Invitational.
After being swept by host SMU in Friday singles, WSU bounced back to take four of its seven matches from UTA on Saturday and three of five against Arkansas on Sunday.
Shocker standouts included Lingwei Kong (2-1 at No. 3 singles),
Kristina Kudryavtseva (2-1 at No. 4) and
Clara Whitaker (2-1 at Nos. 5 and 6).
Kudryavtseva and
Jessica Anzo went 2-1 in doubles play.
"We were in every match. We could have come away with a few more wins, but we also had some strong results," head coach
Colin Foster said. "UTA was runner-up in the Sun Belt last year and SMU and Arkansas are both strong, at-large type teams. We competed well and got better across the board – doubles and singles."
The fall tournament schedule continues next weekend at the ITA Central Region Championships in Stillwater, Okla.
