Online Schedule
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — WKU Tennis has announced its 2023 spring schedule, with a total of 25 dual matches leading up to the Conference USA Championship in Denton, Texas. The Lady Toppers begin the season on January 14 with a road match at Bellarmine.
Of note, the team has 12 home matches and five regular-season C-USA matches on the slate. WKU Tennis will continue to play indoor matches at Warren County's Michael O. Buchanon tennis facility after a successful 2022 campaign that saw the Lady Toppers play a record of 16 home matches. Outdoor matches will be played at the WKU Tennis Complex on south campus. The 2023 season marks the first time in program history that the team will play double-digit home matches in back-to-back seasons.
"I would say this is the most difficult schedule that I have put together since arriving on The Hill," Davis said. "When you look and see Cincinnati and Ball State on the road as well as playing Lipscomb, Belmont, North Texas, UTSA, and Middle Tennessee on their home courts it is going to be a challenge. The home schedule is not any easier when you see UAB, Marshall, UTEP, Murray State, Austin Peay and UT Chattanooga traveling to play us in Bowling Green."
In three fall events – the Austin Peay Invitational, Middle Tennessee Invitational and Bellarmine Invitational – WKU went an outstanding 46-16 overall in singles play and posted a 16-13 record in doubles. The Lady Toppers will return to organized team practices after New Year's in preparation for the spring season.
"I think this has been a really good team to coach and I am really proud of what they accomplished this fall," Davis said. "They are aware of the challenge ahead of us this spring."
WKU finished the 2022 spring campaign with a 18-9 overall record, marking the most wins in a single season since 1985. The Lady Toppers began and finished the regular season winning five matches in a row, a feat the team has not achieved since 2017. The team returns four letterwinners – Sofia Blanco, Paola Cortez, Rachel Hermanova, Samantha Martinez, and Mariana Zegada – to go along with newcomers Sunskrithi Damera and Sayda Hernandez.
