March 24, 2018 | Women's Tennis
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Looking to extend a four-match league winning streak, the 24th-ranked Mississippi State's women's tennis team (13-5, 4-3 SEC) continues its current road swing at No. 46 Arkansas (5-10, 1-5 SEC) for a Sunday afternoon matchup. The match is slated for 1 p.m. CT at UA's George M. Billingsley Tennis Center.
Last Time Out for MSU…
Despite dropping the doubles point, the Bulldogs were able to rally back with four three-set singles victories to post a 4-1 triumph against Missouri in the first half of this weekend's road trip Friday night.
MSU true freshman Magda Adaloglou notched her second SEC singles triumph at No. 3 while senior Madison Harrison recorded her first of the season at the top spot in the lineup. Junior Janina Braun rallied from being down 4-3 and a break in the third set to win 6-4 and shift the momentum in favor of the Bulldogs with a 3-1 lead. Quickly becoming the norm for the Maroon & White, the reigning SEC Player of the Week Anastasia Rentouli posted yet another third-set victory to clinch and secure the 4-1 triumph for the Bulldogs.
