ARLINGTON, Texas – UT Arlington women's tennis is set for round two against WAC rival Abilene Christian, the final regular season matchup between the teams. The Mavericks won the first matchup 5-2 at home and now make the trek for the 2 p.m. Wednesday matchup at the Judi and Cecil Eager Tennis Pavilion in Abilene.

UTA (5-12) is coming off a split weekend homestand, dropping Friday's matchup with Arkansas State 4-0 before rebounding and knocking off the UTSA Roadrunners in a 4-3 thriller on Saturday. 

The Mavericks won doubles for the fourth time this spring against the Roadrunners with the Court 1 duo of Elizaveta Mladentseva and Sofia Selle as well as Tasnime Ahamout and Natalia Gonzalez on Court 2 picking up the wins for UTA.

Singles play came down to the wire. The Mavericks and Roadrunners split the six bouts, with the match coming down to a three-set tilt on Court 6. It was there that Flora Farkaslaki knocked off Laia Tarazona Peyro 7-5 in the final set, winning the match for UTA.

Mladentseva and Selle each won their singles matches as well on Court 1 and Court 2 respectively. Selle's straight-set victory was the first singles match completed. Mladentseva overcame a first-set defeat to win the last two 6-3 and 6-2.

In their first matchup with Abilene Christian (7-11), UTA had similar success in doubles. Ahamout and Gonzalez won on Court 2 while Diana Kaibara and Farkaslaki picked up a win on Court 3. Ahamout and Gonzalez's efforts ultimately netted them WAC Doubles Team of the Week honors.

Kaibara also went on to win her Court 2 singles bout in straight sets, bagging her WAC Singles Player of the Week. Selle, Farkaslaki and Ahamout also won their singles tilts.
