NEW ORLEANS - After starting the 2021 spring with three straight wins, the Tulane women's tennis team looks to build on their unbeaten start to the season with a home match against the University of New Orleans on Thursday, January 28. First serve is scheduled for 2:30 p.m., at the City Park Tennis Center.
SCOUTING NEW ORLEANS
The Privateers play their first match of the season against the Green Wave. They are led by junior and Alcorn State transfer Anastasia Vaganova who was a two-time All-SWAC First Team selection and the 2019 SWAC Freshman of the Year. Additional, veteran newcomers who transferred into the program include Estelle Vanthier (Green Bay) and Lina Hohnhold (Memphis). Letterwinners returning include Claudette Gilhespie (33 career singles wins) and Ank Vullings (10-0 during the shortened 2020 spring season).
LAST TIME THEY MET - APRIL 5, 2019
Tulane defeated UNO, 5-2, in City Park. The Green Wave won on doubles courts two and three while earning singles wins on courts three, four, five and six. Adelaide Lavery, who was a freshman and is the only current Tulane player who competed in that match, earned a 6-2, 7-6(13) win on court six.
LAST TIME OUT
Tulane tacked on a 7-0 home win over Southern on Saturday, Jan. 23 just two days after a doubleheader sweep against Alcorn State.
IN THE ITA RANKINGS
Green Wave sophomore Mackenzie Clark is ranked No. 108 in the ITA's national singles rankings to begin the season. In doubles, Clark and 2020 ITA All-American Mary Caroline Meredith comprise the nation's No. 54 duo.
THE RETURNERS
Tulane brings back three starters from the 2020 roster including junior Adelaide Lavery, Clark and sophomore Lahari Yelamanchili. Those three account for more than half (36) of Tulane's 67 singles wins last season.
FRESH FACES
The Green Wave welcomes four newcomers including graduate transfer and 2020 All-American Mary Caroline Meredith who competed at Wake Forest University the last three seasons. She is joined by three freshmen: Cora Barber, Kristen Borland and Charlotte Russell.
