LONGVIEW, Texas – The LeTourneau University women's tennis team will make their sixth-consecutive appearance in the American Southwest Conference Women's Tennis Tournament and will enter as the number two seed out of the East Division to take on McMurry University at 2 p.m. on Thursday, May 2nd at the UTD Tennis Courts on the Campus of Texas-Dallas.
 
LETU enters tournament play with an 8-9 overall record but has won four of their final six matches to end the regular-season and posted a 3-1 mark in ASC East Division Play. Of the seven teams that qualified for the 2019 ASC Women's Tennis Tournament, the YellowJackets have faced off against six of the seven teams with the only team not appearing on the regular-season schedule for LeTourneau being the number two seed in the west division Hardin-Simmons University.
 
In their previous match this season against the War Hawks, LETU would wind up on the wrong end of a 5-4 decision as McMurry would battle back from a 2-1 deficit after doubles to take four of the six singles matches to earn a home victory over the YellowJackets on March 2. The match would ultimately prove to come down to the number one singles match that would go to a third-set tiebreaker as Katharine Waldthausen and Samantha Ritz would split the first two sets before Ritz earned a 10-8 tiebreak win for the point that would be the difference in the team score.
 
Thursday's match will be the first for LeTourneau since April 15 when the YellowJackets hosted Texas-Tyler for senior day, as LETU will look to earn their first ASC Tournament victory. Leading the way for the YellowJackets will be Waldthausen and Maddison Brackenreg who together have earned 10 wins at number one doubles and combined for a total of 17 wins at number one and two singles. Waldthausen has gone 7-3 in her past 10 singles matches while Brackenreg has posted an 8-2 mark in her most recent matches with the two going 8-2 over their past 10 matches at number one doubles.
 
The winner of Thursday's LETU vs. McMurry matchup will face off against the winner of host Texas-Dallas and Louisiana College on Friday at 2 p.m. in the 2019 American Southwest Conference Semifinals. On the other side of the bracket will be Hardin-Simmons taking on the University of the Ozarks in the opening match of the day at 9 a.m. before making way for East Texas Baptist and Concordia Texas to face off at 11:30 a.m.
