ARLINGTON, Texas -- Midwestern State is the No. 2 seed in the LSC Women's Tennis Championship Tournament, which features the top eight women's teams based on the final conference standings. The Mustangs meet seventh-seeded Lubbock Christian in the quarterfinals at Arlington Tennis Center. The dual match begins at 3 p.m. on Thursday.

Midwestern State is seeking its sixth conference tournament title after being eliminated in the quarterfinals by Texas A&M-Kingsville last year. MSU has reached the finals on 11 occasions, most recently in 2019, when the Mustangs defeated Tarleton State, 4-1, to lift the trophy.

The Mustangs enter the postseason with a 17-6 overall record, including an 8-2 mark against conference opponents. Midwestern State, which is ranked No. 32 in the latest ITA Collegiate Tennis Rankings, has a three-dual match winning streak following a 5-2 victory over Arkansas-Fort Smith in the regular season finale.

Midwestern State scored a convincing 6-1 victory over upstart Lubbock Christian when the two sides collided at Penny Gullo Tennis Center in Lubbock last month. The Chaparrals are competing in the Lone Star Conference for the first time this season. The Mustangs won the doubles point and five singles matches en route to the victory.

Amelia Lawson has played exclusively at No. 1 singles this season, posting a 13-9 record for the Mustangs. Lawson has won six of her last seven matches. The fifth-year senior has been forced to a third set in four of those matches and has won the decisive set each time. Lawson defeated Anastasia Khrustaleva of Lubbock Christian, 6-0, 6-0, in their meeting earlier this season. Lawson was 6-4 against LSC opponents.

The Mustangs are 9-12 at No. 2 singles this season, but Alice Di Matteo has played the No. 2 spot and gone 3-1 in the last four duals, including a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Lea Manga of ninth-ranked Cameron last week. Di Matteo played No. 3 singles at Lubbock Christian and defeated Axelle Jacquemin, 6-2, 6-3. Di Matteo is 5-4 in conference clashes.

Hannah Yip has played No. 3 singles in the last three duals, and she lost all three matches in close three-set battles. Yip played No. 2 singles at Lubbock Christian and was upended by Michelle Trochez, 7-5, 6-1. Yip is seeking her first singles victory since knocking off 39th-ranked Letizia Corsini at Angelo State, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, on March 25.

Emilija Visic is 6-4 in conference singles matches and improved to 12-9 for the season by winning her last two matches at the No. 4 position, including a 6-0, 6-0 pasting of Isabella Sorrano of Arkansas-Fort Smith in her last outing. The junior from Phoenix handled Oshini Herath of Lubbock Christian, 6-1, 6-4, at No. 4 singles last month. Visic was 9-1 at MSU Tennis Center this season.

Midwestern State is 13-4 this year at No. 5 singles, thanks in large part to the diligent work of Skylar Minns. The junior from New Braunfels is 9-1 in the No. 5 spot and has won her last five matches in that position. Minns defeated Magda Wawrowska of Cameron, 6-3, 6-4 in her last match, and she posted a 6-3, 5-7, 10-2 victory over Maya Adler of Lubbock Christian at No. 5 singles.

Micaela McSpadden and Sydney Williams have sparked the Mustangs to a 12-6 record at No. 6 singles. McSpadden is 7-2 in conference matches and has won five of her last seven outings, including a 6-2, 7-5 win over Sofia Tominga of UAFS at No. 5 singles on Saturday.

Williams is 6-4 in singles with four victories coming from the No. 6 position. The sophomore from Austin, Texas, won two of three matches at No. 5 singles this season.

Williams and Lawson are 14-6 in doubles this season and won 10 of their last 12 matches. The tandem pulled out a 7-5 win over Trochez and Jacquemin at Lubbock Christian. Williams and Lawson are 8-2 against conference opponents.

Di Matteo has been a constant at No. 2 doubles. The Italian has been paired with Visic in the last two duals and posted victories over Cameron and UAFS. Di Matteo and Kanaha Furutani are 8-10 in the No. 2 doubles position but have lost their last three matches together.

Minns and Visic have been a reliable pairing for most of the season at No. 3 doubles, boasting a 10-3 record, but the duo has lost their last two matches together. Visic is 13-4 in doubles this year. Minns is 13-7 and has played seven matches with McSpadden.

Visic and Minns clinched the doubles point at Lubbock Christian with a 6-2 win over Herath and Taylor Nichols.

Lubbock Christian enters the postseason with a 13-10 record overall and won four of its 10 duals against conference opponents.

The Chaparrals have alternated wins and losses since defeating Texas A&M Kingsville on March 25. Lubbock Christian is 4-4 in that span and is coming off a 6-1 loss to No. 9-ranked Cameron on Saturday. Cameron won all six singles matches after Lubbock Christian earned the doubles point to start the day.
