Box Score TULSA, Okla. – Wichita State women's tennis ended their fall season with a series of wins at the Tulsa Invitational this weekend. The Shockers went 5-4 in doubles overall and a superb 13-6 in singles matches across the weekend.
 
The Shockers competed in doubles and singles matches throughout the weekend against North Texas, Central Arkansas, and host school Tulsa.
 
Head Coach Colin Foster was quite pleased with his team's results this weekend.
 
"We had a great weekend on the court and really competed well as a team," said Foster. "Results-wise, Kristina [Kudryavtseva], Xin Tong [Wang], Jessica [Anzo] all went undefeated in singles, and they were all just a point away from going undefeated in their doubles matchups as well.
 
Coach Foster was very excited to see freshman Xin Tong Wang get some time on the court this weekend for the first time as a Shocker.
 
"Xin Tong was able to make her Shocker debut and she played very well," said Foster. "She showed what we anticipated which is that she will be very capable of being at the top of our doubles and singles line up."
 
The Shockers began the Invitational by dropping a pair of incredibly close doubles matchups against Tulsa, before bouncing back to win all seven singles matchups against North Texas later in the day. The team continued their success on Saturday morning when they snatched two of three doubles matches from the Mean Green with the lone loss being incredibly close.
 
The Shockers then faced Central Arkansas in singles to end the day where they took four of six matchups from the Bears. Doubles on Sunday saw more success as the Shockers won two of three against Central Arkansas to finish with an overall 5-4 doubles record on the weekend.
 
Tulsa was the only team to come out on top in singles over the Shockers on the weekend, as the Golden Hurricane won four of six matches.
 
"The team was tested physically and mentally, but they responded really well to the different pressures and emotions that a match will confront you with," said Foster. "The fall season is always about developing and I saw a lot of improvement in the team this fall. The challenge now as we head into our off-season is to take a couple days to recover, but then take advantage of the opportunity to continue getting stronger on and off the court."
 
Sunday marked the end of the fall season for the Shockers, and they will now turn their attention to their regular season which begins in January.
