Heading Back to Texas

 
ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFKnights.com) - Riding a four-match win streak, the UCF Knights women's tennis team will return to the state of Texas for two matches. The Knights (6-1) will face No. 46 TCU on Friday at 5:30 p.m. and then No. 44 Texas A&M on Sunday at noon.  
 
After receiving votes over the last month, UCF came in at No. 28 in the latest ORACLE/ITA Division I rankings, marking the highest ranking in program history. 
 
The Black and Gold were stellar in their first go-around in the Lone Star State two weeks ago, with a 6-1 win over American Athletic Conference foe SMU on Feb. 9 and a 5-2 win over then No. 16 Baylor two days later.
 
UCF's dominance begins with strong play from the freshman. Rebeka Stolmar is 5-0 to start the year in singles play. Stolmar and playing partner Silvia Bordes are also 5-1 in doubles action.
 
Fellow rookie Maria Martinez led the charge against the Mustangs and Bears, with a combined 4-0 record in singles and doubles play during the first Texas trip.
 
Doubles play has been an overall strength of this team as a whole. The Knights are a combined 13-3 in doubles matches this season.
 
TCU (6-5) is coming off back-to-back losses, including most recently against Texas A&M on Feb. 18.
 
The Horned Frogs field three seniors, one junior, and four freshmen. Aleksandra Zenovka is currently ranked No. 82 in singles, and Aleksa Cveticanin comes in at No. 123.
 
Texas A&M (9-1) is in the midst of a two-match win streak, with its lone loss on the year coming Feb. 14 at Rice.
