MORGANTOWN, W.Va – The West Virginia University women’s tennis team will travel to Little Rock, Arkansas, to compete in the Little Rock Classic from September 23-25.
“We are looking forward to the level of competition,” fourth-year coach Miha Lisac said. “This is a good opportunity for us to get better in singles and doubles.”
The tournament consists of four teams: West Virginia, Arkansas, and Big 12 foes Kansas and TCU all will play in three flights of singles with two players in each flight. There will also be a flight of doubles. Each player will play through the round robin style tournament regardless if they win or lose.
The Mountaineers will kick the tournament off on Friday at 10 a.m. ET at the Little Rock Country Club.
The Mountaineers will face four opponents and three doubles pairs that were ranked in the Oracle/ITA preseason rankings on September 13. Kansas’ Anastasia Rychagova is ranked No. 49, while Janet Koch and Nina Khmelnitckaia are ranked No. 56 in doubles. Arkansas’ Ana Oparenovic is ranked No. 60. The Razorback’s Shannon Hudson and Ana Oparenovic are also ranked No. 49 in doubles. Three Horned Frogs are ranked as Donika Bashota is No.57, Seda Arantekin came in at No. 114 and the tandem of Seda Arantekin and Caroline Wegner are the No. 18 duo in the country.
A recap of the each day’s action will be available on WVUsports.com.
WVU opened its fall schedule last weekend at the 24th William & Mary Tribe Invitational. The Mountaineers collected five singles victories and four doubles wins in the two-day tournament.
