Kansas tennis will try to build on a 7-0 victory from last weekend when it travels to No. 32 Tulsa Sunday.
Last weekend the Jayhawks hosted a double-header with Iowa and South Dakota. The Jayhawks lost 6-1 to the Hawkeyes before bouncing back for a 7-0 triumph of the Jackrabbits.
Sophomore Erin Wilbert returns the ball in her singles match against Iowa. Wilbert played a double header on Sunday and won both of her singles matches but only one of her doubles.
Some of the team members were battling illness over the weekend and were not able to play. With those matches, Kansas finished up a four-game stint at home with a 3-2 record on the season.
“We will just be doing what we do normally in practice,” sophomore Erin Wilbert said. “We will try to get everyone healthy first and then get back into the swing of things.”
The team will be playing on the road for its five matches covering a calendar month.
“It should be fun. I like traveling,” Wilbert said. “We travel on a big bus. It is my favorite part.”
After starting the season 6-0 Tulsa has lost its last four matches. Three of those four came on its home court.
“The last three or four years it has been really close every year,” assistant coach German Dalmagro said. “So we are looking forward to the challenge.”
Last year Kansas lost to Tulsa 6-1. The Golden Hurricanes were ranked No. 32 at that time, too.
Wilbert’s victory last season gave Kansas its only point against Tulsa.
