UNT looking to close season strong in final three contests
NEW ORLEANS – The UNT tennis team returns to action Sunday on the road against Tulane in a matchup of two teams jockeying for positioning in the ITA rankings with just two weeks until the American Athletic Conference Tournament.
The Mean Green, coming off a perfect sweep of Tyler Junior College on Thursday, will travel to New Orleans looking to improve on their 10-10 overall record against a Tulane team that has posted an impressive 9-2 mark in home matches this season.
The Green Wave are 10-7 overall this season and have won four of its last five matches with the lone loss coming Wednesday at South Alabama.
UNT comes into the contest with the balanced attack that has propelled them all season as five different players have won at least seven matches on the year and three have notched nine victories.
Carolina Laydner continues to lead the way with an impressive 9-3 mark in singles play. Laydner has posted a 5-1 record at line three and joins Stanislava Shulzhekno as one of two players on the team with multiple wins at three different lines this season.
Both Lou Chalard and Stadfany Nformi also have nine singles wins apiece for the Mean Green while Shulzhenko has eight and Lilly Schultz adds seven of her own.
In doubles play, North Texas has been strong as a team all season. The Mean Green have won the doubles point 13 times in 20 matches this year.
Even more impressively, UNT has performed despite having inconsistent doubles pairings all season due to injury. The Mean Green have employed 12 different doubles combinations in 20 total matches.
Tulane, meanwhile, is led in singles play by Lahari Yelamanchili who has been the exclusive player at line one singles for the Green Wave all season. A 2022 All-AAC selection, Yelamanchili is 8-5 in singles play this season.
Live video for the contest will be available on ESPN+.
