Apr 17, 2024 | Women's Tennis
NEW ORLEANS – As the eight seed in the 2024 American Athletic Conference Championship Tulane University women's tennis (11-8) will open play in the second round against the nine seed UTSA (14-6) on Thursday morning in Dallas. The match between the Green Wave and the Roadrunners is set to begin at 9 a.m. at SMU's Stysling/Altec Tennis Complex.
Â
The Wave has only faced UTSA twice in program history and is a perfect 2-0 in those matchups. Tulane defeated the Roadrunners 6-1 in the latest meeting in New Orleans in 2018.
Â
Tulane is 2-7 all-time in the AAC Tournament with its last victory coming in 2018 in Dallas over East Carolina in the first round. Last season the Green Wave lost in the first round to Temple 4-2 in Orlando, Florida.
Â
In doubles action this spring the Wave is paced by the duos of Cora Barber and Mackenzie Clark with 12 wins and Kristen Borland and Lahari Yelamanchili with 11 victories. Meanwhile, Barber and Yelamanchili lead the team in singles competition with nine wins each this spring.
Â
With a win over UTSA, Tulane will advance to the quarterfinals to face the No. 1 seed SMU at 9 a.m. on Friday.
