Abilene Christian women's tennis takes its two-match win streak on the road this weekend for a pair of matches at Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston State. The Wildcats meet the Ladyjacks in Nacogdoches at 12 p.m. Friday before taking on the Bearkats in Huntsville at 11 a.m. Sunday.
ACU is coming off victories in its last two appearances on the court, beginning with a 6-1 win at Incarnate Word in San Antonio on Feb. 9. Two days later, the Wildcats took down Dallas Baptist, 5-2, in Abilene, their second home affair in eight matches this season.
Olivia Sears and
Maria Cascos went undefeated over the two-match stretch, as the pair teamed up in doubles for a 6-0 sweep over the Cardinals' tandem before a 6-3 victory against the Patriots' pairing. They provided ACU's lone doubles win on Tuesday, as Dallas Baptist captured the doubles point before the Wildcats rallied in singles play.
Sears and Cascos didn't lose a set in singles action, either, to spur ACU in both matches.
Angela Del Campo also claimed victory in both of her matches on court no. 3.
Stephen F. Austin carries a 4-3 record into Friday's match and has been battle-tested on the road with a 3-2 mark away from Nacogdoches. The Ladyjacks boast a trio of 7-0 sweeps over Alcorn State, Jackson State and Louisiana-Monroe, but lost a narrow 4-3 match to WAC opponent Grand Canyon in their last time out on Feb. 8.
Jemma Cave is 6-1 this spring in singles play and has teamed up with Ana Paula Chávez to produce a 6-1 mark in doubles. Chavez is 5-2 in singles, as are Alkmini Giannakogiorgou and Felicia Back.
Sam Houston enters at 4-3 and is 3-2 at the Chuck & Wanda Beckner Tennis Center. Each of the Bearkats' four wins have been sweeps over Prairie View A&M, LSU Shreveport twice and Lamar, while their three losses have seen them get swept by Rice, Texas A&M and UTSA. The Roadrunners swept them, 4-0, one week after beating the Wildcats, 6-1.
Nayuma Subba has played in each match this season with a 4-3 mark as the No. 1 singles player. She's teamed up with Jacqueline Schnabel to go 3-3 in doubles.
