5/2/2025 | Women's Tennis
Ann Arbor, Mich. – The Ole Miss Women's Tennis teams run in the NCAA Team
Championship fell short after Arizona State defeated the Rebels 4-1 on Friday in the
round of 64.
The Rebels faced a strong Sun Devils lineup in doubles, with all three courts in a tight
race. Ranked No. 24 in the nation, co-captains Anaelle Leclercq-Ficher and Ludmila
Kareisova soared through their match to take a 6-3 victory over the No. 78 pair from
ASU.
Arizona State evened the slate with a win on court three, to force all eyes to the middle
slot. Duo Andrea Nova and Brooklyn Olson forced a tiebreak and kept up a tight race
against the Sun Devils, but ultimately fell short 7-6 (7-5) to give Arizona State the lead
into singles.
In singles, Rachel Krzyzak put up an impressive fight of her own and soon put the
Rebels on the board, as the senior in the sixth slot defeated Karsyn Evans in straight
sets, 6-2, 6-1.
Ultimately, three Rebels fell to secure the match for Arizona State at courts three, four,
and five.
Emily Welker and Kareisova both went unfinished on their respective courts. Welker on
court one, 3-6, 5-3, and Kareisova on court two, 7-5, 5-3.
