HC Davis Interview | Online Schedule
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — WKU Tennis has announced its 2022 spring schedule, with a total of 25 dual matches leading up to the Conference USA Championship in Murfreesboro, Tenn. The Lady Toppers begin the season on January 17 with a road match at Bellarmine.
Of note, the team has 16 home matches and three regular-season C-USA matches on the slate. Warren County's construction of an indoor tennis facility at nearby Michael Buchanon Park has allowed head coach Greg Davis to schedule many home matches earlier in the season.
"We're really excited about our schedule release. We have 16 home matches and the opening of the new indoor facility has a lot to do with that," Davis said. "There's a tremendous amount of excitement with the team and tennis overall in the community right now."
In three fall events – the Samford Round Robin, Butler Invitational and UC/Pam Whitehead Invitational – WKU went 26-22 overall in singles play and posted a 10-12 record in doubles. The Lady Toppers will return to organized team practices after New Year's in preparation for the spring season.
"I think there's a lot of excitement with the program right now. We had some really good results in the fall in the three tournaments we played," Davis said. "Tennis is a game of momentum and I feel like we've really set the table to carry that momentum into January."
WKU finished the 2021 spring campaign with a 7-14 overall record. The Lady Toppers capped the season with five victories in the team's final nine matches, which included a three-match win streak during that stretch. The team returns four letterwinners – Laura Bernardos, Alexis Cramer, Samantha Martinez and Cora-Lynn von Dungern – to go along with newcomers Sofia Blanco, Paola Cortez, Rachel Hermanova and Taylor Shaw.
