WACO, Texas/TULSA, Okla. – A trio of Bulldogs will take the court in Waco, Texas, at the H-E-B Invitational this weekend (Oct. 4-6), while sophomore Tamara Racine will begin pre-qualifying singles action at the ITA All-American Championships on Saturday, Oct. 5, in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The H-E-B Invitational, hosted by Baylor University at the Hurd Tennis Center, will feature players from Houston, Illinois, Iowa State, TCU, Texas, UTSA, and familiar SEC opponents in Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky, LSU and Texas A&M.
True freshman Marta Falceto and redshirt freshman Valeria Nikolaev will kick off the weekend with doubles action beginning at 9 a.m. ET on Friday. The pair will match up against Iowa State's Karen Alvarez and Baylor's Daria Rakitskaya in the Green & Gold draw.
State will begin singles play at 12:30 p.m. ET Friday in the Gold draw. Falceto will take on eighth-seeded Anastasia Kharitonova of host Baylor, while MSU senior Sara Lizariturry will face No. 3 seed Lexi Ryngler of Texas in her opening round matchup.
At the ITA All-American Championships, which begin Saturday in Tulsa, Racine will look to advance and join Magda Adaloglou (singles) and Emma Antonaki and Alexandra Mikhailuk (doubles) in the qualifying rounds, which begin Monday. All of those players will be looking to move into the main draw which runs Oct. 9-13. Adaloglou and Racine have already secured a spot in the 32-team doubles main draw while Antonaki will represent State in the 64-player singles main draw.
The ITA All-American pre-qualifying draws will be released Friday.
