Aggie Women’s Tennis Concludes Fall Season at UNLV
Nov 12, 2015 | Women's Tennis
The Texas A&M women's tennis team concludes the fall season this weekend as several Aggies compete in the Rebel Invite at UNLV's Fertitta Tennis Complex in Las Vegas.
The tournament features four eight-player singles flights and two eight-team doubles flights, with championship matches scheduled for Sunday.
A&M juniors Rachel Pierson and Saska Gavrilovska will compete in singles. In addition, senior Ines Deheza and freshman Domenica Gonzalez will compete in singles and also pair up in doubles.
Play gets underway Friday with Deheza and Gonzalez facing Blair Shankle and Elizabeth Profit of Baylor in the first round of the No. 1 doubles flight.
Singles matches follow, with Pierson taking on Ana Batiri of Idaho in the No. 1 singles flight, and Gavrilovska facing Mimi Fotopoulos of Oklahoma in the No. 2 singles draw. Gonzalez will compete in the No. 3 singles draw, where she will meet Alexis Pereira of TCU in the opening round, and Deheza plays Celine Koets of Idaho in the first round of the No. 4 singles flight.
Other teams represented in the three-day tournament are USC, LSU and UNLV.
"We have had a successful fall season up to this point, and I hope that we can carry that momentum into the final tournament," A&M head coach Mark Weaver said. "Once again, we will be facing some very good competition against teams like LSU, Oklahoma, Baylor, USC and TCU just to name a few. It will be nice to see Rachel Pierson back in action after a four-week hiatus as she has been overcoming a mild injury. It is hard to believe that the fall season is already coming to an end, however I have been quite pleased with how it has all shaped out."
