Mean Green trying to for longest home win streak since 2011-12 season

DENTON, Texas (Feb. 18, 2023) – The UNT women's tennis program will look to remain unbeaten at home this season Sunday when they welcome South Florida and Dallas Baptist to the Waranch Tennis Complex for a doubleheader at 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM CT.

UNT looks to bounce back after a pair of losses last weekend in Lynchburg, Va., against Maryland and Liberty and improve on their 7-3 overall record.

After starting the season with five consecutive wins at home, the Mean Green look to extend that streak to seven. It would be the longest home win streak since UNT won 11 straight matches in Denton in the 2011-12 season when they went on to win the Sun Belt title.

In singles play, Jasmine Adams, Olivia Malm and Matilde Morais are all tied with a team-high seven victories each this season.

Playing exclusively at line two, Morais remains perfect at 7-0 while Adams is 7-3 and Malm is 7-1.

Senior Kexuan Zhou is also unbeaten this season with a 6-0 record while playing at lines four, five and six this season.

In doubles play, the combination of Morais and Adams are 7-1 at line one. After dropping their first matchup of the season, the duo has won seven straight matchups, including a win over #53 Maryland last Saturday.

Scouting the Competition

USF heads into the matchup at 2-2 overall with a win over fellow C-USA foe FAU on their ledger. The Bulls will take on SMU Friday night before facing off with UNT Sunday.
Last season, USF went 7-16 overall and advanced to the AAC Semifinal. The tournament run included a win over the top-seeded UCF Knights.
The matchup is a preview of a future conference bout as UNT will join the American next season.
DBU heads into the weekend at 2-0 on the young campaign and have also faced off with UT Arlington 4-0 in an exhibition matchup on the year.
The Patriots will be playing five total matches in a three-day span over the weekend as they play Texas A&M-Texarkana and Hardin-Simmons Friday, Our Lady of the Lake and ETBU Saturday and UNT on Sunday.
DBU went 14-12 a season ago and earned a spot in the Lonestar Conference Championships.
The contest will be an exhibition matchup for the Patriots as they compete at the NCAA Division II level.
