Wang had an excellent opening week on the court for Wichita State. She began the week by clinching the doubles point with partner Giorgia Roselli against Texas State on Friday. On Monday, Wang defeated No. 46-ranked Sophie Llewellyn 6-4, 6-3 to help the Shockers to a 4-2 home victory over the SMU Mustangs. It marked Wichita State's first win over SMU since 2019.
