Match Recap: Women's Tennis |

Packed House Watches Shockers Battle Memphis

Playing without its top singles player, the Wichita State women's tennis dropped a dual match to No. 70 Memphis, 7-0, Friday evening in front of a large crowd at the Wichita Country Club.
 
"Firstly, thanks to our fans for great support and a great turnout," head coach Colin Foster said. "It's a lot of fun for our team to compete in this atmosphere. Unfortunately, Memphis set the tone early and never let us get comfortable. It was a tough day at the office for the Shocks, but not for a lack of effort."
 
With Natsumi Kurahashi out due to a non-COVID illness, WSU shuffled its doubles tandems and bumped all five singles players up a spot in the order.
 
The visiting Tigers won the doubles point and all six singles matches. The last two singles matches were shortened to eight-game pro sets.
 
WSU is on the road next weekend for matches at Abilene Christian (Saturday, Mar. 5) and UT Arlington (Monday, Mar. 7). Next home action is Thursday and Friday, Mar. 17 and 18, at the Sheldon Coleman Tennis Complex.
