Freshmen Aya Ishii and Marissa Minetti also scored their fourth Doubles Team of the Week award this season. This success brings Tarleton's total of midseason awards to 63 under head coach Elianne Douglas-Miron.

By the Numbers

Yes, But

While the Texans have shown impressive performances, the sustainability of this winning streak could be challenged as they face tougher opponents ahead, requiring consistent play to maintain their momentum.

State of Play
  • Castano leads the team in both singles and doubles wins, continuing her strong start from the previous season.
  • Ishii鈥檚 performance has been particularly notable, leading the team in singles wins this spring.
What's Next

The Texans are set to compete against Tyler JC on Wednesday, where their continued success will be tested as they aim to build on their current winning streak.

Bottom Line

Tarleton State Tennis is proving to be a formidable force in the WAC, but maintaining this level of excellence will depend on their ability to adapt and perform under pressure in upcoming matches.
