This Friday afternoon (April 15), the University of Minnesota Duluth will put the wraps on the 2016 tennis season by hosting the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in a rare non-conference outdoor match at the Longview Tennis Club. The first serve is set for 12 p.m.
The Bulldogs, who are under the direction of first-year head coach
Jessica Worden, are currently 3-13 overall and went 3-8 in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference play this spring, good for ninth place.
The 2016 UMD roster is void of any seniors, although Friday's bout with the Blugolds (13-6 overall) will mark the final collegiate appearance for junior
Kaitlin Wohnoutka, who is graduating next month. Wohnoutka (No. 3) and sophomore
Jillian Klasen (No. 4) share the team lead for singles victories with six while sophomores
Karly Weber and
Katie Baasch have generated the best winning percentage in doubles, going 4-3 at No. 3 -- all against NSIC competition.
