Des Moines, Iowa - The Nebraska women's tennis team finished off its fall season on a high note at the Drake Jamboree at the Roger Knapp Tennis Center Oct. 24-26, as four players competed in the three-day event.
The final day of competition featured singles action against Kansas State and doubles across the court from Bradley.
Junior Mackenna Maddox and sophomore Mary Hanna highlighted the day by winning their final singles matches. Maddox battled through three sets against Maria Panaite before coming away with a 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 victory. Hanna dominated Livia Cirnu, 6-3, 6-4.
Husker redshirt freshman Katerina Matysova faced Amina St. Hill but fell short, 6-1, 6-2.
The Huskers went 1-1 in doubles play against Bradley. Maddox and Matysova outplayed Ariel Dechter and Irinka Toidze to earn an 8-4 victory, continuing their winning streak. Hanna and Spurti Shivalingaiah fell short to Alexa Brandt and Ashley Thai, 8-5.
Maddox and Matysova dominated in doubles play going undefeated for the weekend and winning their draw. They defeated opponents from Bradley, Southern Illinois, Iowa and Kansas State.
Hanna and Shivalingaiah paired up to go 2-2 for the weekend, outplaying opponents from Kansas State and Southern Illinois.
Hanna rounded out the three-day event with a 3-1 singles record, earning her the first place finish. Matysova also accumulated a 3-1 singles record, while Maddox went 2-2 and Shivalingaiah 1-1.
Nebraska assistant coach German Dalmagro said the Huskers performed well during their three days in Des Moines.
"The most important aspect is that we played really well, and we got mentally stronger as the tournament went on. That is something we have been working on a lot," Dalmagro said. "Overall, I am very satisfied with their performances, the way they competed, and the progress they are making. We still have work to do to become the best we can be, but we are heading in the right direction."
The Huskers will begin their spring campaign on Saturday, Jan. 24 against Air Force and Army in what is expected to be their first home match at the Nebraska Tennis Complex.
