The upset this weekend won’t be if Wichita State loses a match. The upset will be if it loses a point to another Missouri Valley Conference women’s tennis team.
The top-seeded Shockers started the MVC Championships with a 4-0 win over No. 8 Evansville on Friday at Wichita Country Club, all in straight sets. WSU (25-3) won its eighth straight MVC regular-season title with a 7-0 record, winning 42 of a possible 43 dual points. That streak is the longest in any regular-season sport by an MVC team.
That dominance — which includes a streak of 76 straight regular-season wins against MVC opponents — should continue this weekend in the tournament.
