ABOUT LOUISIANA TECH
LA Tech looks to carry its momentum from the fall season when they amassed 74 combined victories in single and doubles into the spring.
 
Top singles player Leonie Schuknecht, who is in her third year, registered a team-leading 14 fall victories in route to becoming the first Lady Techster in program history to earn Conference USA Women's Tennis Athlete of the Month in back-to-back months.
 
Schuknecht was not the only one to have a big fall.  Ana Rodrigues recorded the most singles victories with 10, just the third LA Tech in the last decade to reach double-digit wins during a fall season.
 
Other highlights from the fall included Ilana Tetruashvili and Alexia Romero joining the 50/50 club with at least 50 career singles and doubles wins (spring and fall combined). 
 
As spring seasons go, LA Tech is coming off one of its most historic years as the Lady Techsters posted an 18-6 dual record, the second most wins in program history.  Included in that was a program record 14-match winning streak.
