Feb 18, 2022 | Tennis
MANHATTAN, Kan. – The Kansas State women's tennis team will hit the road to Tempe, Arizona to face off against Arizona State on Sunday (February 20) at the Whiteman Tennis Center at 11:30 a.m., CT.
"This will be a good test for us," stated head coach Jordan Smith. "Our first match on the road this season. We've been fortunate to have a decent start at home so far. The team knows that they'' have to bring it even more on the road than at home. If we can get assertive early on in doubles, then I like our chances this weekend against ASU."
The Wildcats are currently 4-1 on the season and are coming off a 4-0 sweep against Florida Atlantic.
Senior Karine-Marion Job is currently undefeated in singles at the number one position with a record of 4-0. Job is ranked nationally in singles at No. 68.
Also undefeated this season thus far are Linares and freshman Dinara Alloyarova.
K-State has been at home in Manhattan, Kansas for the last five matches and will play outdoors for the first time.
K-State and the Sun Devils have only played once before and that was on February 7, 2021 at Arizona State. It was the Sun Devils that walked away with a 4-1 victory.
The lone singles point came from a now senior Maria Linares. The Maracay, Venezuela native, earned a three-set victory over Arizona State's Sammi Hampton, 7-6, 2-6, 10-6, which placed K-State on the board just ahead of the match being completed. Hampton ranked No. 115 in the ITA National Singles poll at that time.
