LAWRENCE, Kan.- The K-State women's tennis team started the spring schedule on Thursday (January 16) with singles and doubles matches against Iowa State in the Jayhawk Invitational at the Jayhawk Tennis Center.
Not competing for a team score, seven Wildcats competed in singles matches for three victories over the Cyclones, while also winning one of three doubles matches. These two teams will face each other again at the end of the regular season on April 10 at Mike Goss Tennis Stadium.
The Chogsomjav sisters, junior Maralgoo and freshman Martaa, started the day successful over no. 34 ranked Mari Paz Alberto Vilar and Stanislava Shulzhenko, 6-2. Freshman Sasha Kyselova and sophomore Chanel Rustemova encountered a tiebreaker in their match against Julia Camblor and Gabriella Kellner where the pair eventually fell short at 6-7 (4-7).
Maralgoo and Martaa Chogsomjav both continued to win in their respective singles play, Maralgoo defeated Camblor at 6-2, 6-2, while Martaa won similarly, 6-2, 6-1, over Valentina Vargas. Rustemova also found success in a high scoring match against Kellner, narrowly avoiding a second set tiebreaker at 6-4, 7-5.
Joining the Wildcats at the start of the year, Kyselova competed in her first match in a purple uniform, the only one to battle into three sets. Facing Alicia Dale, Kyselova dropped the first set but fought her way back to win a 8-6 tiebreaker in the second. In the final set she could not hang on for a 3-6, 7-6, 2-6 loss.
The Cats will continue competing in Lawrence, facing the Memphis Tigers on Friday (January 16) at 1 p.m.
