TROY, Ala. – The Troy women's tennis team is set to open its conference schedule this weekend with a pair of road matches against South Alabama in Mobile, Ala., on Saturday and Southern Miss in Hattiesburg, Miss., on Sunday. First serve for both matches will be at 10 a.m.
Troy (5-4) enters Sun Belt play coming off a pair of wins over Samford and Alabama A&M last week. The Trojans are hitting their groove at the right team as they look to duplicate their conference success from last season, which included a 9-2 record.
Valeriia Avdeeva continues to pace Troy in singles play, as she has put together a team-best 7-1 record and has won six matches in a row. Leena Metally is also hitting her rhythm, winning her last three matches.
Maria Guirguis, who is second on the team with five wins, had a strong showing at Samford to clinch the match victory for Troy. She dropped her first set 1-6 but responded with back-to-back 6-2 wins to take the match in three sets. As a team, Troy is 25-19 in singles play during the spring duals.
In doubles, Avdeeva and Guirguis are 5-1 when paired together and have won four straight matches. Metwally and Hagar Ramadan-Amin are 5-3. The Trojans have a cumulative doubles record of 13-8 in duals.
South Alabama (7-2) have won its last three matches and are projected to be one of the better Sun Belt teams this season. As a team, the Jaguars are 29-18 in singles play and 16-10 in doubles. Southern Miss (3-3) is undefeated at home this season and have a 12-13 singles record, while going 9-4 in doubles.
