Head Coach Davis Interview
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — WKU Tennis has announced its 2021 spring schedule, with a total of 22 dual matches leading up to the Conference USA Championship in Denton, Texas. The Lady Toppers begin the season on January 18 with a road match at Bellarmine.
Of note, the team has five home matches and four regular-season C-USA matches on the slate.
"We feel that this team is very experienced, so we wanted to upgrade the schedule along with it," head coach Greg Davis said. "We have a lot of good teams on this schedule; Cincinnati, Kentucky, UT Martin coming in, as well as playing LA Tech and Southern Miss [and others] in Conference USA."
WKU finished its 2020 spring season with a 6-10 dual match record before the remainder of the season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Lady Toppers return six letterwinners – Lisa Friess, Laura Bernardos, Cora-Lynn von Dungern, Tristen Bryant-Otake, Lauren Joch and Kyla Dilger – to go along with newcomers Alexis Cramer and Adriana Subias.
"I'm happy with the singles lineup, we have six experienced players we can put out there who have all played in college matches, some for several years," Davis said. "I like our depth and competitiveness."
The Lady Toppers competed in one fall tournament – the MTSU Invitational – where the team was able to compete in 19 singles matches and seven doubles matches. WKU will return to organized team practices after New Year's in preparation for the spring season.
