No. 19 Women's Tennis Tops Kansas State, 4-1, to Cap Undefeated Home Season

ORLANDO – The No. 19 UCF Knights women's tennis closed out its dual-match home slate in dominant fashion Friday evening, defeating the Kansas State Wildcats, 4-1, in a fitting Senior Night sendoff.

The Knights (16-3, 9-2 Big 12) secured their second consecutive undefeated season at the USTA National Campus with the victory. Since head coach Bryan Koniecko took the reins ahead of the 2016-17 season, UCF has enjoyed remarkable success at home, compiling a 103-24 record. Meanwhile, the loss drops the Wildcats to 5-11 overall and 2-8 in conference competition.

The Knights set the tone early, claiming the doubles point with wins on courts two and three.  Jade Psonka and Vladislava Andreevskaya were the first to strike, earning a commanding 6-2 result on court three to give the Knights an edge. The tandem of Olivia Bergler and Lauren Seye decided it, though, holding steady on court two for a 6-4 victory.

In singles play, UCF quickly took control, with Marina Gatell wasting no time putting the Knights up 2-0 with a dominant 6-2, 6-1 win on court three. The Wildcats continued to fight back, holding an edge on the top courts, but their efforts were soon stifled as Seye’s 6-3, 6-4 decision on court six inched the Knights closer to victory. 

Psonka ultimately delivered the clincher, sealing the team victory with a 6-1, 6-3 triumph on court five and securing a perfect home slate for the Knights while capping off a memorable Senior Night. 

Kansas State picked up its lone on court four after Andreevskaya retired from the match. Meanwhile, Bergler was just moments away from securing the victory holding a 6-3, 6-5 advantage on court two, while Jantje Tilbuerger fought back in her second set, 6-7 (7-9), 4-3, one court one.
