The Kansas tennis team’s spring season is off to a rough start. The team fell to 1-3 after facing two Southeastern Conference opponents, Ole Miss and Mississippi State, during the weekend.
The Jayhawks have lost three straight.
One of the top performers in the SEC, Ole Miss senior Chloe Carlotti showed why she is considered an all-court threat as her team defeated Kansas, 6-1, on Friday in Oxford, Miss.
A two-time All-American and All-SEC standout, Carlotti dominated Kansas freshman Elizaveta Avdeeva, 6-1, 6-1.

Ole Miss sophomore Ilona Somers knocked off Kansas junior Christine Skoda in straight sets, 6-2, 6-0. Skoda has lost her last three singles matches.
The only positive on Kansas’ side was the display of resilience, courtesy of Ashley Filberth. The Kansas City, Mo., sophomore rallied after dropping the first set and came back with the victory against Mississippi freshman Carlin Cochran, 1-6, 6-3, 10-5. The victory avoided a possible shut out by Ole Miss, as Filberth improved her singles record to 2-0 on the year.
On Saturday, Kansas traveled across Mississippi to Starkville, where it fell to the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Sunday, 7-0.
Mississippi State swept singles and doubles play.
All the Jayhawks fell in straight sets except freshman Stephanie Smith. The Salina native managed to win the first set vs. freshman Renee Joseph, but was defeated in three sets, 6-2, 0-6, 0-6.
The loss marked the second time this season in which Kansas failed to earn a point in a defeat.
