Women's Tennis Ready for GAC Championships

DURANT, Okla. – Southeastern women's tennis is set to open play at the Great American Conference Championship as the No. 3 seeded Savage Storm take on sixth-seeded Ouachita Baptist at 2 p.m. on Friday, April 21 in Bentonville, Ark.
 
The Savage Storm head into the contest with a 7-12 record overall on the season and a 3-2 mark in conference play.
 
On the season, four of SE's five matches versus GAC competition have been settled by 4-3 final scores, with the Storm's 6-1 win over the Tigers on April 8 being the lone difference.
 
In that matchup Southeastern picked up the doubles point as Georgia Hosking and Sara Gonzalez win at the one position and Vanessa Nitu and Chiara Matteodo won at number two.
 
Nitu would continue the Storm winning at the two positions as SE would see Hosking, Michelle Markovic, Matteodo, and Rhythm Aswal take the three-through-six positions for the 6-1 win.
 
The Tigers come into the postseason with a 5-15 record overall on the season and an 0-5 mark in GAC play.
 
A win for Southeastern on Friday would set up a 1 p.m. contest on April 22 second-seeded Southern Arkansas in the semifinals, and a win in that matchup would earn the Storm a berth in the conference championship final on April 23 at 1 p.m.
