BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — WKU Tennis looks to build upon its strong start to the 2020 season, as the Lady Toppers hit the road to face Northern Kentucky on Saturday, Jan. 25 at 3:30 p.m. CT. With a win, WKU would start the season with a 4-0 record for the first time since 2010, but it won't be easy.
"Northern Kentucky is a very experienced and deep team. We had a very difficult match at NKU last year and they will be a very formidable opponent again," head coach Greg Davis said. "We're really stressing getting contributions from the whole team every match and feel that's the key for us to have success this year."
Reigning Conference USA Athlete of the Week Cora-Lynn von Dungern helped lead the Lady Toppers to an opening weekend sweep of Butler, Western Illinois and IUPUI in Indianapolis. She went 3-0 at the No. 1 singles position and 2-0 at No. 1 doubles with partner Lisa Friess.
Friess at No. 4 and Laura Bernardos at the No. 3 spot also went 3-0 in singles play, while Tristen Bryant-Otake, Zoe Wende and Laura Diaz Saez each contributed a singles victory over the weekend.
The Norse started their 2020 season last weekend with a 5-2 loss at Kentucky, followed by a 6-1 win at Dayton. The Lady Toppers have a 2-2 all-time head-to-head record against NKU, most recently a 6-1 loss on Feb. 22, 2019. WKU's most recent victory in the series was a 6-1 result on Feb. 13, 2013.
