MARTIN, Tenn. – After five fall tournaments and eight matches to start off the 2018-19 season, the University of Tennessee at Martin tennis team opens Ohio Valley Conference action at Southeast Missouri on Friday, March 22 at 2 p.m.
The Skyhawks are 26-2 all-time against the Redhawks, owning a 20-match winning streak over Southeast Missouri. Individually, Andrea Plantada is a perfect 4-0 against the Redhawks in her career, going 2-0 in both singles and doubles action. Jemima Potter also boasts four career victories against the Redhawks, including an unblemished 3-0 mark in doubles.
UT Martin enters conference season with a 2-6 overall record as the Skyhawks faced a stacked spring schedule. Overall, the Skyhawks have excelled in doubles play throughout the 2018-19 campaign – posting a 34-28 record in such situations.
Preseason OVC top-10 player Asel Jumamukhambetova leads the team with 13 singles victories, including a team-high three wins during the spring season while playing exclusively in the No. 1 slot. In doubles, Jumamukhambetova, Plantada and Amelia Campbell all lead the way with 11 victories while Daphne Pratt and Mizuki Sakurai pace UT Martin with four victories (mainly at No. 2) in the spring.
