SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - No. 20 Texas Tech will look to continue its winning ways on Wednesday, when the Lady Raiders face Cal Poly at noon at the Mustang Courts.
Texas Tech enters the match after winning the biggest match in program history, as the Lady Red Raiders upended No. 12 Baylor, 4-3. Tech is 9-2 on the season and has won eight of its last nine matches.
Cal Poly started the season 4-1, but has gone just 2-4 in its last six matches. The Mustangs were ranked as high as No. 46.
Texas Tech is led by nationally-ranked Elizabeth Ullathorne, who is ranked No. 122 in the most recent ITA Singles Rankings. The Lady Raiders doubles tandem of Samantha Adams and Kenna Kilgo are ranked No. 47 nationally.
One player to watch for Texas Tech is Nikki Sanders, who extended her winning streak to 13 straight against Baylor when she picked up Texas Tech's fourth and deciding point last week. Sanders is 10-0 in dual matches this season.
The Lady Raiders have four players with at least seven wins in dual matches this season - Sanders (10-0), Kilgo (7-1), Caroline Starck (7-2) and Rashmi Teltumbde (7-2).
