AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State tennis team returns to action this weekend, competing in two duals. On Friday, the Cyclones (6-2) will look to stay undefeated at home, hosting Drake (2-3) at Life Time Fitness in Urbandale at 1 p.m. Following up on Sunday, Iowa State will travel to Lincoln to face Nebraska (5-3) at 11 a.m.
LAST TIME OUT
Iowa State beat both of its opponents last weekend by comfortable margins. Against William & Mary, the Cyclones found themselves in an early deficit before winning the final five singles matches to earn a 5-2 win. The Cyclones then followed that up with a 5-1 victory over the visiting Georgia State Panthers Sunday morning.
CYCLONE TENNIS QUICK HIT
Singles Domination – The top 5 Cyclones have a combined 85% singles winning percentage in dual play, highlighted by the undefeated Ting-Pei Chang (6-0).
First-Year Power – Thasaporn Naklo and Christin Hsieh, the No. 45 ranked doubles pairing in the nation, are the only pair of freshman to be included in the rankings.
Defend Home Court – The Cyclones are on a seven-match home winning streak, dating back to last season. This is the second longest streak in school history, trailing Iowa State winning their first 11 home matches from 1973-76.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Ting-Pei Chang is currently in the midst of one of the hottest streaks in Iowa State tennis history. After fighting through struggles in the fall season, Chang is undefeated in singles action in duals this spring, currently sitting at 6-0. While partnering with senior Maty Cancini, the duo has been rolling in doubles action as well, winning seven of their last eight matchups.
