Undefeated Angelo State women's tennis team, ranked No. 24 nationally, will look to extend its best start in program history this weekend as the Rambelles host Western New Mexico and Sul Ross State at the ASU Tennis Complex.

Why it matters

Angelo State's 17-0 start is the best in the program's history, and the team is ranked in the top 25 nationally. A continued undefeated run would further cement the Rambelles as a force to be reckoned with in Division II tennis.

The details

The Rambelles, led by fourth-year head coach Jason Potthoff, feature two players ranked in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's individual rankings - Vasilissa Kupriianova at No. 25 and Margaux Rene at No. 27. The doubles pairing of Rene and Benedetta Raggiotti is ranked 17th nationally. As a team, Angelo State is 83-16 in singles matches and 33-16 in doubles.

  • The Rambelles (17-0) will face Western New Mexico at 10 a.m. Friday.
