Tennis 2020-21

Women's roster is posted. As someone noted in another thread, Adri Nagy did not return to Texas for her sophomore season. And, as we've known since last December, Lexi Ryngler is not listed (had been reported that she would transfer to Pepperdine for her sophomore season).

Glad to see Lulu Sun on the roster.

Payton Holden is a grad-transfer from Princeton.

 

Not sure if anyone noticed, but the UT Women's Tennis team were runners-up to North Carolina in the ITA National Team Indoor Championship.

No. 3 Texas Women’s Tennis drops 4-3 heartbreaker to No. 1 North Carolina - University of Texas Athletics

 

Down goes #1

 

This was our 3rd take down of No. 1 in the last 3 seasons including at Florida last year and vs. Ohio State two years ago.

 

It's great, but frustrating to continue to drop matches to Baylor - twice this year!

 

Haven’t seen Peyton in the lineup lately, anyone have info?

 

I think she plays in some ITF tournaments. Bianca did the same thing.

 

Bought my NCAA Tennis Championships tickets today for all sessions that wil be played in Orlando!

 

Saw that there was a job posting for Director of Operations. Wonder who takes that...

 

Both tennis teams in the quarterfinals of the NCAAs. UT men had a crazy match with South Carolina and now will rematch with the other USC. (Dick Vitale even tweeted about it.) UT women play Florida State.

Great seasons so far. Both teams are ranked to be in the final four so let’s hope they can pull out wins this week!!!

 

I was there today and let me tell you that the guys never gave up when down 0-3 in the team score. I didn't realize that some of USC singles' rankings were so high but man, I love upsets in UT's favor!

 

Final 4 bound for both the men and women!

 

The women are about to advance to the finals. They got the doubles point and have first set wins in all 6 of the singles courts.

Championship bound for the women! Texas played 5 Freshmen in singles!

 

You have to assume they'll play UNC and that team is stacked. What, 8 singles players ranked and 4 doubles teams? Crazy good. But you can bet the Longhorns are ready for that rematch!!!

HOOK EM!

 

I'll be there! Hoping for the same results for the men tonight!

 

Pepperdine it is! Wow. They’ll be riding a super big high after tonight.

This is the school that Lexi Ryngler transferred to but she hasn’t played the last few matches.

 

Is Lexi not redshirting this year?

 

I think she played recently (maybe even one of the tournament games). Definitely was playing in February/March. But I don’t know how redshirting works.

 

Pepperdine University -- Individual match-by-match

 

Her Pepperdine bio shows "R-FR." Odd.

2020-21 Women's Tennis Roster - Pepperdine University Athletics

 

Ladies grab a quick 1-0 lead after the three doubles sets. Now it's on to the six singles. First team to 4 is National Champions!

 

Pepperdine has a 4-2 edge in the first singles matches. Horns need a break thru.

 

3-3 with Lulu Sun down 1-0 in the third set. Winner take all.

 

Lulu breaks back. On serve 1-1.

 

2-1 Lulu

 

Lulu was up 40-15 for double break + deciding point but couldn’t convert. 2-2.

 

3-2 Lulu

 

Up 5-3 now and serving for a national championship!!!
