HOUSTON, Texas – Following a two-week break, the UT Arlington women's tennis team will be back in action this weekend to participate in the Rice Invitational at the George R. Brown Tennis Center.
The tournament will feature 78 players from 13 different schools – Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Colorado, Houston, North Texas, Rice, Sam Houston, Texas A&M Corpus Christi, Texas State, USF, UTA and UTSA.
The Mavericks will send six of their eight players to the tournament as Polina Akimova, Liz Chileno, Aida Garcia Mendez, Momoka Horiguchi, Lucia Natal and Nanaka Takeuchi will see action in the tournament.
Chileno and Horiguchi will both look to continue their early success after advancing to the quarterfinals of the Racquet Club Invitational two weeks ago. Takeuchi went 2-2 at the Racquet Club Invitational, losing her first match but advanced to the consolation bracket quarterfinals. This will be the first opportunity for Akimova and Natal to see the court.Â
Play will begin each day at 9:00 am. Friday will be two doubles matches followed by one singles match. Saturday will be one doubles match followed by one singles match and Sunday will be one singles match.
Natal and Garcia Mendez will team up in Flight 3 doubles, while Takeuchi and Akimova will also be in flight three. Horiguchi and Chileno will compete in Flight 4.
In singles play Natal will compete in Flight 3 against Luca Fabian of Alabama. Akimova and Garcia Mendez will both compete in Flight 5 against Rice's Maria Budin and Sophie Gerits from Houston. Horiguchi and Chileno will face off against Karla De La Luz Montalvo from Sam Houston and Nidhi Surapaneni from North Texas, respectively in Flight 6. Takeuchi rounds out the singles competition in Flight 7, taking on Lusine Chobanyan from Sam Houston.
