SHREVEPORT – After a two-week hiatus, the Northwestern State Lady Demons tennis team is set to return to action on Monday, traveling to face LSU-Shreveport in a non-conference match.

The match, initially scheduled for Feb 23, is set to start at 2 p.m.

Following a long break, the Lady Demons (6-6, 6-0) are coming off a commanding 6-1 victory at Lamar on March 24.

"We are excited to get out there and compete," head coach Marcos Morelli said. "It's important for the players to rest and take care of their body, now it's time to finish the season off strong."

Northwestern State showcased strong performances in that match, including a doubles sweep and five singles wins.

Honoka Umeda secured a 6-0, 6-2 win at No. 2 singles and, alongside Zoi Spyrou, earned a 5-4 win at No. 2 doubles.​

Tjasa Klevisar overcame a first-set deficit to win 4-6, 6-2, 10-7 at No. 3 singles and teamed with Pika Doberlet for a 6-2 victory at No. 1 doubles.​

Sofi Garcia remains undefeated in the season at 6-0 following a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 6 singles and paired with Ayu Ishibashi for a 6-0 victory at No. 3 doubles.​

LSUS' (7-3, 2-0) most recent match was on April 4, a tight loss 4-3 to LSU-Alexandria.

After this match, the Lady Demons return home to finish their last home matches of the season, beginning with McNeese on Saturday at 1 p.m. and celebrate the seniors Ayu Ishibashi and Tjasa Klevisar on Senior Day on April 14 at 11 a.m. against Southeastern at the Jack Fisher Tennis Complex.
