Rice Live Updates | Texas A&M Live Updates
ABILENE - Abilene Christian's men's and women's tennis teams return to the road this weekend following a short homestand. The ACU women veture to College Station Saturday to battle the 18th-ranked Aggies, while the men have a Friday doubleheader scheduled at Rice where they'll face Prairie View A&M and the host Owls.
Rice is 5-6 and in the midst of a short two-match losing streak in which the Owls have lost consecutive 6-1 matches at No. 9 Texas and No. 42 LSU. Earlier in the season, however, they picked off Southland Conference teams Incarnate Word, 6-0, and Lamar, 6-1.
The Aggies are off to a 2-2 start. Texas A&M started its spring with a 1-1 showing at the ITA Kick-Off Weekend, following a 4-0 win over North Texas with a 4-2 loss to TCU. The Aggies then lost a close 4-3 dual to No. 3 North Carolina before rebounding against UT-Arlington last Thursday, 5-2.
Texas A&M has three individuals nationally ranked by the ITA: #57 Rutuja Bhosale, #64 Rachel Pierson and #67 Saska Gavrilovska. Pierson and Ines Deheza, meanwhile, comprise the 37th-ranked doubles team.
The ACU women's team defeated conference rival New Orleans, 4-1, last time out to improve to 3-0 on the spring.
The Wildcats started the dual by winning their third consecutive doubles point thanks to a thrilling 9-8 victory by Brittney Reed and Kaysie Hermsdorf that ended in a 7-3 tiebreaker.
The win kept Reed and Hermsdorf undefeated this spring at 8-0 and improved their standing at No. 1 to 3-0. Additionally, Lucile Pothier and Erin Walker raised their No. 2 mark to 3-0, while Nada Marjanovic and Whitney Williams were 8-4 victors at No. 3.
Marjanovic and Williams never took to the singles court as the match was clinched following a pair of three-set wins by Reed and Hermsdorf at the No. 1 and 2 positions, respectively. Reed won her third straight by defeating Anja Luethi, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, and Hermsdorf held back Soledad Arroyo, 6-4, 4-6, 6-1, for singles' win No. 5.
Reed's victories over the Privateers earned her a Southland Conference honorable mention for Player of the Week.
ACU's men's team, however, was stunned by New Orleans, which won the doubles point in addition to the No. 4 to 6 singles' contests.
Senior Guilherme Gesser and sophomore Nico Agritelley were the lone double winners for the Wildcats. They first won together at No. 1 doubles over Gonzalo Garcia and Timo Kranz, 8-6, and later captured points at No. 1 and 3 singles.
Gesser defeated Rui Silva, 6-1, 0-6, 6-0, at the top spot for his second victory of the year, and Agritelley improved to a team best 5-3 following his straight-set triumph over Garcia, 6-1, 6-4. Junior Jason Proctor also netted the Wildcats a point after beating Kranz at No. 2, 6-2, 6-3.
Unfortunately, the Wildcats couldn't get one more victory out of the back half of its lineup as No. 4 and 5 players Henry Adams and Paul Domanski were beaten in straight sets, and No. 6 Marco Bensley dropped a heartbreaker at No. 6, falling to Giacomo Adoncecchi , 6-3, 1-6, 6-1.
