Nformi and Schultz win Gold Group 2 Doubles title to highlight performance
Tulsa, Okla. – The UNT tennis team wrapped up its fall season over the weekend with a solid showing at the Tulsa Invite, led by the doubles combination of Stadfany Nformi and Lilly Schultz that won the Gold Group 2 Doubles title.
In total, North Texas finished 17-9 across both singles and doubles matches with an 11-7 mark in singles play and an impressive 6-2 record in doubles.
Nformi and Schultz posted a perfect 3-0 record in doubles, knocking off duos from host Tulsa, Wichita State and Central Arkansas. The duo opened play with a tight 7-6 (7-5) win over Tulsa and then was able to win 6-4 over Wichita State and 6-0 over UCA.
"Coming out of the weekend with high winning percentages in singles and in dubs was a high note in what I think was a really successful fall," head coach Amanda Stone said. "There was a lot of growth in our team over the last few months. Our schedule allowed us to compete against teams from all over and our tennis held up against some of the best around. It also gave us the opportunity to really examine where we are and what it's going to take to get to where we are capable of going. I love the determination and commitment our players are showing to do the work and start turning the corner in this off season. This bunch is going to be dangerous come spring."
The Mean Green also got a solid 2-1 record from the doubles combination of Gianna Pielet and Stanislava Shulzhenko. They teamed up to knock off Tulsa and UCA while falling against Wichita State.
In singles play, UNT had five different players all post 2-1 records individually. Shulzhekno, Carolina Laydner, Nformi, Marina Adati and Lilly Schultz all went 2-1 while Pielet added a single victory of her own.
The tournament wraps up fall play for the Mean Green. UNT will return to action for dual play this spring in their second year in the American.
