LAST TIME OUT
Texas scored its first top-five win in four years last Saturday when it toppled No. 4 Michigan by a 4-3 count at the Whitaker Tennis Courts. The victory marked the first Texas win over a top-five opponent since Jan. 21, 2012, when the Longhorns took down No. 4 North Carolina.
Texas won two of three doubles matches to claim the doubles point and added singles wins from Breaunna Addison, Daniella Roldan and the clincher from Dani Wagland.
ADDISON RANKS EIGHTH IN LATEST I.T.A. SINGLES RANKINGS
Texas two-time All-America senior Breaunna Addison ranks eighth in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) women's singles rankings released Tuesday. Last month, Addison became the first Longhorn featured in the ITA top-10 in five years when she moved to No. 8 on Feb. 3.
Addison, who had ranked as high as No. 10 in the ITA singles rankings as a sophomore, is the first Longhorn among the nation's top-10 since Aeriel Ellis in January of 2011. MORE HERE
The 2014 Big 12 Player of the Year is off to a 23-3 mark in singles play and carries a 7-1 record in dual matches. Addison is nearing the 100-win mark in her three-plus seasons and boasts a 96-29 career singles record.
Addison also ranks a season-high No. 13 in doubles with Dani Wagland.
MORE ON THE LONGHORNS
First-year head coach Howard Joffe and second-year assistant coach Courtney Dolehide welcome four starters back from the 2015 squad that finished with a No. 37 national ranking. The 2016 squad holds a 5-4 dual-match record with neutral-site wins over Purdue and Princeton and home wins over Incarnate Word, UTSA and Michigan.
Two-time All-America senior Breaunna Addison returns at the top of the singles lineup after earning All-Big 12 honors in singles and doubles last season.
The 2014 Big 12 Player of the Year has qualified for the NCAA Championships' 64-player singles draw each of her three seasons as a Longhorn, and she reached the event's semifinals as a first-semester freshman in 2013.
Sophomore Dani Wagland earned All-Big 12 doubles honors alongside Addison last season and has won three dual matches this season. Junior Neda Koprcina, a former Big 12 champion at No. 4 singles, is out to a 7-1 start this season in dual matches, where she has split time at Nos. 2, 3 and 4 singles.
UT also returns senior Lana Groenvynck and welcomes newcomers Chelsea Crovetti, Daniella Roldan and Katie Poluta.
