November 08, 2020 | Women's Tennis
STILLWATER, Okla. – The Texas Tech women's tennis team finished up play at the Fall Series Championships on Sunday afternoon at the Greenwood Tennis Center.
Â
One final round of doubles kicked off the final day of competition at the tournament on Sunday. Olivia Peet and Kailey Evans had a strong showing, shutting out Iowa State's Ting-Pei Chang and Ellie Murphy, 6-0. The Lady Raider tandem finished the weekend 3-1 as a duo.
Â
Nell Miller and Kaitlin Staines battled, but came up short, 6-4, to Oklahoma State's Alanna Wolfberg and Daniella Medvedeva. Freshmen Olivia Mikkelson and Camryn Stepp also dropped a tight match, 6-4, to Marie Norris and Addy Guevara of TCU.
Â
The Lady Raiders closed out the weekend with another round of singles. Miller came up short to Kansas State's Maria Linares, 6-4, 6-3, while Staines dropped a tough, 6-4, 6-0 decision to Iowa State's Chang.
Â
The freshman Mikkelson battled with Baylor's Jessica Hinojosa, but fell, 7-5, 6-1. Stepp dropped a 6-2, 6-4 match to Ioana Gheorghita of Kansas State, while Evans fell short to Kansas State's Manami Ukita, 6-3, 6-2.
Â
The weekend marked another nice showing this fall for a young 2020-21 Lady Raider team.
Â
Last month, Tech traveled to the Texas A&M Invitational where the team combined to go 6-1 in doubles and 8-4 in singles over the course of the three-day tournament. The prior weekend, Kaitlin Staines took home the singles title to highlight a 4-1 final day for the Lady Raiders at the OU Invitational in Norman, Okla.
Â
The Lady Raiders also appeared in a pair of pro tournaments during the fall, both being played in Lubbock. Most recently, Mikkelson made a strong run to the singles semifinals at the West Texas Pro Tennis October Open last weekend, while three Lady Raiders advanced to the quarterfinals.
