Tommie Tennis is on the road, playing four non-conference opponents for the first time

ST. PAUL, Minn. – The St. Thomas Women's Tennis team travels to Louisiana to face Southern University, Southeastern Louisiana, Jackson State and Nicholls for the first time in program history. The Tommies are set to play four matches in four days from March 26-29. 
 
Last Time Out 
The University of St. Thomas women's tennis team once again found itself in a tightly contested battle in Summit League play. The Tommies hosted Oral Roberts University in their second to last home match of the 2023-24 regular season. In a thrilling dual between conference opponents, St. Thomas was unable to hold its early lead after doubles play, falling to the Golden Eagles by a final score of 4-3.   
 
Strong Start 
St. Thomas has started the 2024 season strong, recording a 6-7 record in the first half of the season.  
 
The Tommies have set a new program win record in the DI era (6) and have tripled the number of victories from a season ago.  
 
Yinong Ma (10-3 overall), Caroline Lindahl (7-5 overall), Olivia Paradise (8-4 overall) lead the Tommies in singles play. Ma is the second Tommie of the DI-era to reach 10 wins in singles action in a single season. Marthe Degeorges was the first (10-6) to reach 10 wins during the 2023 season.  
 
Spring Schedule 
The Tommie Tennis spring season will consist of 21 matches, including seven at home. Summit League play began for the Tommies as they hosted nationally ranked Denver on March 2. The Purple will face off with six Summit League opponents this season, consisting of three home and three away matches. 
 
The Tommies will be road warriors the back half of the season, playing the final seven of eight matches on the road. During this time St. Thomas will travel down to Louisiana and Mississippi to play four non-conference opponents.
