UNT Women's Tennis (seeded #5) came from behind to beat FIU (seeded#4) 4-3 to advance to the semifinals in Houston at the CUSA Tournament.  FIU had beaten the Mean Green 4-0 in Florida (played rest of matches after the official 4-0 loss to show 4-3 score).  Maria Kononova, the #1 UNT player, did not play in that match.  She quickly won her match in straight sets today.  All other matches went to the third set, with UNT pulling out the victory in the last match.  Big victory over last year's CUSA champs!

Play #1 seeded Old Dominion tomorrow...will  be extremely tough to beat this nationally ranked team.  Hope the confidence is there and that the team did not leave it all on the court in the tense match today.

GO MEAN GREEN!

You are correct.  They were dominated by Old Dominion, who in turn lost to Rice in the finals.   I hope we have strong recruits coming in because it will be difficult to replace Maria and Tamuna.  Replacing Minying will be easier.

I sure hope recruiting picks up because next year could be very bad if they are not Top recruits that can step in and play Top 2-3.

Example being UCA who just won the Southland led by Freshmen at #1/2, Sr at 3,5,6 and So. at #4. #1 girl was freshman of the year and in the finals clinched title with win over the Conference POY.
