MADISON, Wis. - No. 28 Wisconsin women's tennis returns to Madison this weekend to host No. 75 Michigan State on March 27 at 3 p.m. and No. 18 Michigan on March 29 at 10 a.m. at Nielsen Tennis Stadium.
1. The Last Time OutÂ
Wisconsin split its East Coast weekend, falling 4-3 to No. 47 Maryland before bouncing back with a 4-0 sweep over Rutgers. Against the Terrapins, the Badgers secured the doubles point and saw strong performances in singles from Maria Sholokhova at No. 1 and Kaede Usui at No. 6. The match came down to the final court, where Maryland ultimately secured the deciding point to take the win. Wisconsin bounced back against Rutgers, picking up the doubles point with a pair of 6-2 wins. The Badgers carried that into singles play, where Sholokhova and Tianna Rangan each earned straight-set victories. Ellison Reynoldson clinched the match with a 6-3, 6-4 win, as several courts went unfinished.
2. Scouting the SpartansÂ
Michigan State enters the weekend with an 8-8 overall record and a 1-5 mark in Big Ten play. The Spartans most recently picked up a home win over Iowa on March 13 but are coming off a tough weekend after being swept by USC and UCLA. Michigan State will look to bounce back and secure a ranked win on the road.
3. Scouting the WolverinesÂ
No. 18 Michigan comes into the weekend on a five-match win streak, holding an 8-5 overall record. The Wolverines feature two ranked players in their lineup, with No. 21 Piper Charney at No. 1 singles and No. 20 Lily Jones at No. 2. Michigan will look to continue its momentum and improve to 6-1 in conference play.
