Big Red Open Spring Play at UC Riverside

The Nebraska women’s tennis team is headed to California to begin its spring campaign, taking on UC Riverside for a doubleheader dual on Thursday, Jan. 16. The Big Red will face the Highlanders at noon and 4 p.m. (CT) at the SRC Tennis Courts.

The Huskers are coming off the fall individual season in which the team tallied 34 singles wins. Sophomore Maria Taranova led the Big Red in fall singles wins with seven, and had a stellar freshman season in which she earned a 23-8 record, the most wins by a freshman since 2010.

In the 2023-24 season, led by head coach German Dalmagro in his first year at NU, the Huskers went 14-11. The team accomplished two Big Ten Tournament wins for the first time in program history and senior Raphaelle Lacasse was named an All-Big Ten First Team honoree.

Husker senior Ana Zamburek was named to the Big Ten Preseason Player to Watch list on Jan. 6, and looks to finish her collegiate career strong after reaching a program high ITA doubles ranking of No. 25 last season.

HISTORY
The Huskers are 2-0 all-time against UC Riverside. In their last time on the court, the Big Red won 7-0 in Riverside, Calif., in the 2023-24 season opener.
