Aggies Close Non-Conference Slate With Dominant Win Over Pepperdine
Feb 16, 2025 | Women's Tennis
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – The No. 2 Texas A&M women's tennis team defeated No. 16 Pepperdine, 6-1, Sunday at the Mitchell Tennis Center to close out non-conference play.
The Aggies (9-1) captured the early lead through a pair of thrilling doubles wins. Pepperdine (3-6) was the first to take a set, but Mary Stoiana/Lucciana Perez responded with a win on court 1 (6-4) over No. 7 Savannah Broadus/Vivian Yang, setting up Nicole Khirin/Lexington Reed with a chance to clinch the doubles point. The duo was locked into a tight match at 5-5, but were able to pull away in the last two games for a 7-5 victory over Sebastianna Scilipoti/Duru Söke to secure a 1-0 lead heading into singles.
Lexington Reed was the first to score in singles action, dominating No. 108 Söke on court 6 (6-2, 6-2) for her 15th win and first ranked victory of the season.
Stoiana followed up with a 7-5, 6-0 thrashing of No. 16 Savannah Broadus on court 1 for her team-high 11th ranked win of the year.
Pepperdine responded by claiming a point of their own on court 5, but Nicole Khirin was able to secure the Aggie victory shortly after in a thriller on court 2, outlasting Anastasiia Grechkina 7-6(5), 7-6(6).
After the match was clinched, Mia Kupres downed No. 81 Yang on court 3 (6-2, 4-6, 6-2) and Lucciana capped off the day with a 7-5, 4-6, 1-0(4) win on court 4 to claim the Maroon & White's sixth and final point.

COACH'S QUOTES
Head coach Mark Weaver
On the team's performance…
"I'm very pleased with how we performed today. We haven't played outdoors in nearly two weeks, so I'm very pleased with how we played today. Pepperdine definitely has the talent of a top 10 program. They've had a rough start, but they gave us a great match today."
On playing the big points…
"We came away with the big points out there. There was a lot of big points throughout the doubles and singles, regardless of the 6-1 final score. Most of those matches came down to just a few points her and a few points there, so I'm really pleased with how we played those big points."
