OKLAHOMA CITY -- After capturing their respective Lone Star Conference regular-season championships, the ACU men's and women's tennis teams are each the No. 1 seed in their respective draws for this weekend's LSC Tennis Championships.
The tournament will get started Friday at the Oklahoma City Tennis Center with the finals set for Saturday.
The ACU women are 22-7 on the season and ranked No. 7 in the nation and No. 1 in the NCAA Division II South Central Region. The Wildcats are the two-time defending LSC champion and will be seeking their 22nd conference title this weekend.
The Wildcats have been dominant within the conference and region this season, posting 18 shutout wins, including five in seven conference matches. ACU, in fact, lost just three of a possible 63 conference matches as the Wildcats finished 7-0 in conference play.
The Wildcats will open play in the conference tournament at 9:30 a.m. Friday against No. 8 seed Southeastern Oklahoma. A win there would send the Wildcats to the 2 p.m. semifinals against either No. 4 seed Central Oklahoma or No. 5 seed Cameron.
The women's championship match is set for Saturday at 9:30 a.m.
On the men's side, the Wildcats (14-11 on the season) haven't been as dominant as their counterparts on the women's side, but they are coming off a dominating 9-0 win at Cameron last Wednesday that clinched the regular-season championship.
ACU was 4-0 in conference play, winning 31 of 36 matches with its only close match on the season a 5-4 win over East Central on March 26. The Wildcats enter the tournament ranked No. 22 in the country and No. 3 in the region.
As the top seed in the field, the Wildcats will receive a first-round bye before playing in Friday's 1 p.m. semifinals against either No. 4 seed East Central or No. 5 seed Southeastern Oklahoma State. No. 2 seed Cameron and No. 3 seed Midwestern State will also receive byes, and they will play in the other semifinal on Friday.
The men's championship match is also set for Saturday at 9:30 a.m. ACU upset defending champion Cameron last season, and this year will be trying to win its second straight title and 11th overall since 1988.
