Louisiana Tech’s women’s tennis team is gearing up for a three-match home stretch after facing tough competition on the road. They will kick off their home series against 67th-ranked Wichita State on Thursday, March 13 at the LA Tech Tennis Complex in Ruston, Louisiana.
The Bulldogs, with a record of 10-5, are coming off a challenging road trip where they went 1-3, securing a win against Abilene Christian but falling to UNLV, Rice, and Tarleton State. Now back at home where they are undefeated this spring, Louisiana Tech is looking to bounce back with the help of standout players like Zoie Epps and Ana Rodrigues. Epps, who earned her third CUSA Athlete of the Week honor, is currently 13-2 in dual singles, while Rodrigues boasts a five-match winning streak at the No. 1 position.
Facing off against Wichita State, who has been ranked nationally for four weeks and has secured wins against strong opponents like Kansas State and Kentucky, will be a tough challenge for the Bulldogs. The Shockers, with a record of 6-6, will rely on players like Xin Tong Wang and Anne Knuettel to lead the team to victory.
The two teams have a history of competing against each other, with Wichita State winning all four previous meetings. However, Louisiana Tech will be looking to change that narrative as they face off against the Shockers on their home court.
