Storylines
First Serve
Midwestern State continues a six-match homestand on Tuesday against Oklahoma Baptist. First serve at the MSU Tennis Center is tabbed for 1:30 p.m.
 
Last Time Out
Senior Greta Lazzarotto broke the program's all-time wins record with her 139th career victory and junior Bianca Duff tallied win No. 100 as MSU knocked off No. 34 Texas A&M-Kingsville, 5-2.
 
MSU Approaches 500th Program Win
Midwestern State is one wins away from its 500th win in program history. The Mustangs 499-333-3 (.601) would become the seventh MSU program to eclipse the 500 win plateau.
 
Doubles Decider
The doubles point has proved to be decisive for the Mustangs this season. MSU is 10-0 when grabbing the early edge and 3-5 when falling into a hole.
 
After dropping the point in seven-straight, the Maroon and Gold have taken the point in five of the last six contests.
 
Rankings Tumble Continues
Midwestern State continued to fall in the Oracle/ITA National Team rankings on Wednesday following a 2-1 week with wins over UT Permian Basin and Western New Mexico while dropping a 4-3 decision at now 12th-ranked Angelo State.
 
Best to Ever Do It
Senior Greta Lazzarotto supplanted herself atop the MSU Texas career wins chart on Sunday against Texas A&M-Kingsville, passing Lacey Wuthrich (2002-05) with win No. 139. Lazzarotto bested Phoephathep Philavong, 6-1, 6-3, in singles to break the record.
 
The Italian passed Brooke Gray (2000-03) for the most career doubles wins on March 30 against Arkansas-Fort Smith. Partnered with freshman Casie Curry, the tandem closed out a tiebreaker against the Lions to lock up the historic win.
 
Lazzarotto ranks sixth all-time with 55 career singles wins and is 10 away from breaking Wuthrich's program-record of 64.
 
Duff Nears Win No. 100
Junior Bianca Duff collected her 100th career victory in a three-set thriller with Lisa Carvajal at the No. 1 line on Sunday. Duff became the 12th member of the 100-win club, joining teammate Greta Lazzarotto.
 
The Geelong, Australia, native owns a 42-23 career record in singles and 58-14 mark in doubles after a perfect 4-0 weekend. The junior has not lost a match – singles or doubles – since falling to Angelo State's Valentina Gonzalez and Ena Ovcina, 6-3, in doubles on April 4.
