DENTON, Texas (April 21, 2023) – The 2022-23 UNT women's tennis season came to a close Friday as they fell 4-0 against #3 Rice in the C-USA Tournament Quarterfinal at Waranch Tennis Complex.

It was the final contest in the career for Kexuan Zhou who closes her time in Denton with 29 dual singles wins. Zhou nearly closed her career with a victory as she found herself up 7-6 (7-3), 3-3 in at line five before the match was called.
Gloria Alogo Piqueras was also leading her matchup at line three as she was on top 7-6 (7-3), 4-2.
