SAN ANTONIO, Texas — WKU Tennis continued its 2023 season on Monday losing 7-0 to UTSA in San Antonio, Texas. The Lady Toppers move to 10-7 on the year, while the Roadrunners improve to 10-7.
The Lady Toppers lost the doubles point for the first time in four matches, dropping matches on courts one and two, 6-2 and 6-4, with the match on court three going unfinished. The Lady Toppers dropped all six singles matches making the final tally 7-0, in favor of UTSA.
"We ran into a very good team today in UTSA," said head coach Greg Davis. "Coming in, I thought the doubles point was going to be crucial today and I was right. This was a great trip for us to come here, play two teams, and get some outside matches against C-USA teams that will help us for the remaining part of the season."
WKU will return home following its eight-match road trip for a doubleheader on Friday, March 17 against Tennessee State and Southern Indiana beginning at 2 p.m. CT. The location for these matches will depend on the weather conditions.
