    WICHITA, Kan. -- No. 29 Wichita State (27-3) makes its eighth-consecutive NCAA Regional appearance and will open against No. 37 TCU (15-6) in Friday's First Round. The eight-time defending Missouri Valley Conference champion Shockers have won a school-record 17-straight matches but are in search of their first postseason win in nine years. An opening round triumph would also set a new program record for most dual wins in a season.


    Should be a very good match with the winner advancing to play the winner of the #7 Miami Hurricane vs Quinnapiac match. It would be a upset of epic proportions if that is not the host Miami team.

      A little disappointing. I thought this might be the Shock's year to make a little noise in the NCAA Tournament. I was a bit worried about how sharp the Shocks would be after playing a very tough non-conference schedule but having to hone their game at the end of the season against a pretty weak Missouri Valley.

      The Shocks got off to a good start winning the doubles point. Unfortunately, the Shocks could not get it done in the singles with only Giulia Guidetti at #4 and Abby Stevens at #6 able to win their matches. I was a bit surprised that none of the singles matches went 3 sets.

      Still it was a very, very good season for the Lady Shocks.

        Shocker So. Gabriela Porubin was invited to the NCAA individual championships but she fell in the 1st round 7-5, 6-3 to Pepperdine Fr. Louisa Stefani.

        Not a surprising outcome considering Gabriela was 91st in the singles rankings an Stefani was ranked 6th.

        Actually, Gabriela made it reasonably competitive considering the difference in ranking.
