Bowling Green, Kentucky – The WKU Women’s Tennis team is gearing up for a challenging 2025-26 season as head coach Greg Davis unveiled the team’s schedule on September 16, 2025. The Lady Toppers, currently enjoying the winningest four-year stretch in the program’s history, will play a total of 24 matches during the upcoming spring season.
The season will commence with two fall events, including the APSU Fall Tournament hosted by Austin Peay from September 19-21 and the Middle Tennessee Fall Invitational in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, scheduled for October 10-12. The spring schedule officially kicks off on January 15, 2026, when the Lady Toppers will host Bellarmine at home.
The regular-season matches will comprise 24 contests, with 13 of them occurring at home either at the WKU Tennis Complex on WKU’s South Campus or at the Warren County Tennis Facility at Michael O. Buchanon Park. The Lady Toppers will engage in four Conference USA (CUSA) matches during the season, with the CUSA Tournament planned from April 15-18, 2026, in Murfreesboro.
Coach Greg Davis characterized the upcoming schedule as “very challenging,” given that two of the first three matches will be against Power Four teams. Notable home matchups during the season will include contests against Butler, Ball State, Missouri State, Sam Houston State, and Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU).
After opening the spring season at home, the Lady Toppers will hit the road to face two Power Conference opponents – Vanderbilt on January 17 and Louisville on January 19. Following these challenging matches, WKU will welcome Northern Kentucky (January 23), Tennessee State (January 25), and a doubleheader against UT Southern (January 30) to finish off a five-match homestand, which will conclude against Lipscomb on February 6.
The team is also scheduled to travel for three consecutive matches, starting with Southern Indiana on February 7. Other road matches will include UNC Asheville on February 14 and Eastern Kentucky on February 15. Upon returning to Bowling Green, a five-match homestand will begin against Butler on February 22, followed by SEMO (February 27), Belmont (February 28), Ball State (March 5), and a CUSA matchup against Sam Houston on March 12.
As the season progresses, WKU will embark on a five-match road swing beginning at North Alabama on March 15, with additional contests against Alabama A&M (March 17), Murray State (March 22), UAB (March 27), and Jacksonville State (March 28). A crucial home game against Missouri State will happen on April 2 as the Lady Toppers begin their CUSA schedule. The last regular-season road match will occur against Austin Peay on April 4, followed by the season finale at home against Middle Tennessee on April 9.
In the most recent 2024-25 season, the Lady Toppers finished with a commendable 15-10 record, including a strong 12-6 record at home. The 15 victories tied for the third-most wins in a single season in the program’s history and contributed to a remarkable total of 62 wins over the past four years, marking the highest tally over a four-year stretch in the program.
The 2025-26 roster will feature three returning players: Emily Schut, Elizabeth Sobieski, and Carolina Chiatti, alongside five newcomers: Isabelle Einess, Ariadna Fernandez, Virginia Madueño, Barbara Olvera, and Andra Sirbu.
