TROY, Ala. - Claiming its first victory of the season on Wednesday against Alabama State, 5-2, Troy splits the weekend on the road and at home to battle two A&M rosters.
The Trojans (1-2) start the weekend on the road to face the Rattlers of Florida A&M on Saturday (12 p.m.) at the Althea Gibson Tennis Complex before coming home to Lunsford Tennis Complex to battle Alabama A&M (1:30 p.m.).
In the Win Column
The Trojans started the contest against the Hornets on fire, seizing the match on four-straight points to open the day.
Chiara Dabrano / Franziska Ahrend ended their match early at 6-1 before Andrea Widing / Anastasiia Khokhlova notched the match's first point on a 6-3 victory to put the Trojans up 1-0.
Kristina Kukaras (6-0, 6-1), Michelle Ncube (6-1, 6-4) and Hagar Amin (6-1, 6-3) all dominated their singles matches, with Amin putting Troy into the win column early, 4-0.
The final three points favored the Hornets, seizing 2-of-3, but it was too little, too late as Franziska Ahrend iced the matched, giving the Trojans their fifth point, 5-1, in her victory (6-3, 6-2) over Timothee Legaud.
Reviewing the Rattlers
Troy has made quick work of Florida A&M (1-4) in recent history, entering the match on a six-game winning streak over the Rattlers.
Heading into the weekend, the Rattlers are on a four-match losing streak after dropping to North Florida, 4-0, on Tuesday.
Arielle Nealy has been a bright spot for the Rattlers, leading the team with a 7-3 record in singles competition - the teams only player above .500.
Bring On the Bulldogs
The Bulldogs (0-3) walk into Troy, having not won at the Lunsford Tennis Complex in the last five meetings (0-5). Troy has swept Alabama A&M in its last four matches and six of the previous seven.
Alabama A&M still searches for its first win of the season after getting swept, 7-0, in their past three matches to Mercer, Middle Tennessee and Auburn.
Deja Brown / India Woods are the only pair to win a match in doubles this season, sitting at 1-2 overall.
