TROY, Ala. – The Troy women's tennis team looks to continue its impressive start to the 2024 spring season as it heads to Tennessee for a pair of road matches against Belmont and Middle Tennessee this weekend.
On Saturday, the Trojans head to Nashville for a 2 p.m. match against Belmont (5-3) before going to Murfreesboro, Tenn., on Sunday for a morning contest against Middle Tennessee (5-6).
Troy (5-1) picked up its first loss of the season last Thursday on the road against North Alabama. The Trojans responded to the loss with a 5-2 win over Chattanooga on Friday. In Troy's five wins this season, they have won by three or more points in four of those matches.
New-comer Gabrielle Leslie continues to be the Trojans top singles player this season with a perfect 6-0 record in dual matches and is 14-4 overall on the season. Her undefeated record this spring has come in impressive fashion, as the junior from Barbados has yet to drop a set in singles play.
Freshman Leena Metwally has also provided consistent play in singles action, as she is 5-1 this spring. Her lone loss came against North Alabama last Thursday.
The Trojans have won the doubles point in four of their six matches so far. Leading the doubles play for Troy has been the duo of Kristina Kukaras and Maria Guirguis with a 4-2 record this spring. Valeriia Avdeeva and Leena Metwally have also put together a 4-2 record.
Scouting Belmont
The Belmont Bruins enter Saturday's match having won two of its last three matches, including a 4-3 win over Gonzaga last Saturday. Prior to that, the Bruins dropped a 4-3 match to fellow Sun Belt opponent Southern Miss.
Saturday is the first meeting between the two programs.
Scouting MTSU
The Blue Raiders are in the midst of a three-match losing streak. Most recently, the Blue Raiders fell to Murray State 5-2.
Sunday is the 12th meeting between Troy and MTSU and the first since April 15, 2017. The Trojans lead the all-time series 6-5, although the Blue Raiders won the last matchup 4-2.
