COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The 16th-ranked Texas A&M women's tennis team aims to stay undefeated in home matches when the Aggies play host to 27th-ranked Ole Miss on Sunday at 12 p.m. at the George P. Mitchell Tennis Center.
Â
A&M improved to 7-0 in home matches, 10-4 overall and 2-1 in Southeastern Conference matches only with a 5-2 victory over No. 28 Mississippi State on Friday. The Rebels dropped to 8-2 overall and 1-2 in SEC matches after they were unable to capitalize on a 3-1 lead against No. 15 LSU and fell to the Tigers, 4-3, Friday at the LSU Tennis Complex indoor courts in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Â
All-American Saska Gavrilovska is the Aggies' top-ranked singles player at No. 40. The junior from Serbia is 13-4 overall, including 4-1 at the No. 1 line. She is coming off the highest ranked singles victory by an A&M player in 2015-16 after coming back to defeat ninth-ranked Jasmine Lee of Mississippi State, 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-4, on Friday.
Â
Aggie freshman Domenica Gonzalez extended her winning streak to a team-high seven matches with a victory at the No. 4 line against the Bulldogs, and Gonzalez and junior Rutuja Bhosale remained tied for most wins in dual matches with eight apiece.
Â
Junior Rachel Pierson and sophomore Eva Paalma returned to the doubles rankings this week, jumping in at a team-high No. 41 following their 6-3 victory over Alabama's then-20th-ranked duo of Andie Daniell and Erin Routliffe last Sunday. It marked the highest ranked victory by an A&M doubles team in 2015-16. The Aggie duo posted its second consecutive ranked win on Friday, defeating Mississippi State's 34th-ranked Madison Harrison and Georgiana Patrasc, 6-2, at the No. 1 line to clinch the doubles point for A&M.
Â
Bhosale and senior partner Anna Mamalat are No. 56 in the ITA doubles rankings and lead the Aggies with a 15-4 overall mark, including a 7-2 record in dual matches only.
Â
Ole Miss has five players listed in the national singles rankings. Sophomore Arianne Hartono is a team-high No. 49 with a 14-7 overall record and a 7-1 mark at the No. 1 line. Mai El Kamash, who is riding a five match winning streak, is No. 62 with a 15-5 overall record, including a 5-1 ledger at No. 3. Tea Jandric is No. 73 but she suffered her first loss in a dual match and had a seven-match win streak snapped in the loss at LSU. No. 79 Natalie Suk is 5-3 and Allie Sanford is No. 116 although she is 0-0 in dual matches.
Â
Hartono and El Kamash are No. 27 in the national doubles rankings with a 9-5 overall record, including a 5-1 mark in dual matches only.
Â
The Aggies are 5-1 in the all-time series against Ole Miss, including a 4-2 victory against the then-No. 21 Rebels last season in Oxford, Mississippi. A&M, which has won the last three meetings, is 3-0 against Ole Miss in SEC matches only and 1-0 in meetings played in College Station. The Aggies' only loss in the all-time series was in their 2012 season opener as the teams met in the first round of the ITA Kick-Off Weekend in Tallahassee, Florida, with Ole Miss escaping with a 4-3 victory.
