HAMDEN, Connecticut - The Quinnipiac women's tennis team will look to build off a strong Army of West Point Invitational this weekend as it welcomes the University of Connecticut to Quinnipiac's home courts Wednesday, September 27, for a midweek matchup.
TOP STORYLINES
- Last weekend, freshman Dominique Vasile (Bingham Farms, Michigan) picked up three victories to win the B Singles Consolation bracket at the Army West Point Invitational, defeating Michal Matson from Seton Hall, 8-2, in the championship.
- Also last weekend, junior Jennifer Lu (Cypress, Calif.) competed in the 2017 Oracle/ ITA Masters at the Malibu Racquet Club in Malibu, California. Lu fell to the top-seeded competitor in the field, Ena Shibahara of UCLA, and also competed in mixed doubles with Javier Restrepo from Marist
- Early in the 2017-18 season, Lu won two straight consolation brackets in A singles at the Stony Brook and Quinnipiac Invitationals. Lu and Visale also made it to the finals of the Doubles A Tournament at the Quinnipiac Invitational before falling 7-5 in the championship match to Fordham's No. 1 doubles team.
- Lu, sophomore Layla Rodriguez (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.), and junior Proyfon Lohaphaisan (Santa Clarita, Calif.) were each first-team All-MAAC selections last season. Lu was also named the Most Outstanding Player at the MAAC championships after going 4-0 with singles and doubles wins in both the semifinals and finals.
- Quinnipiac has won the last four MAAC Championships since joining the league in the 2013-14 season. The Bobcats have still never lost a MAAC match, going a combined 38-0 in the last four years in both the regular season and postseason. There have been some stern challenges along the way, including a comeback 4-3 win over Marist in the 2016 MAAC Championship match, and a narrow 4-2 win over Siena in last season's finals.
- Connecticut defeated Quinnipiac 4-3 in a closely-contested dual match last season in Storrs, with Rodriguez picking up a win at No. 5 singles.
