Tournament Info

The Wayne State University women's tennis squad will enter the 2012 GLIAC Tournament as the No. 2 seed and winners of 13 straight matches, 12 of those were league contests.

WSU's lone setback was a 5-4 decision to Northwood University, the top seed for this weekend's event at the Midland Tennis Center, in the second match of the season (Sept. 12).

A very young squad at the top of the lineup with two freshmen and two sophomores playing the top four singles flights.  Sophomore Yahsha Moore (West Bloomfield, Mich.) went 11-4 in league play at No. 1 singles, while newcomer Julia Kamenko (Thornhill, Ont. / Vaughan S.S.) compiled a 15-0 record at second singles.

Freshman Alex Poissant (Laval, Que. / Vanier Prep) and sophomore Anne Li Briand (Repentigny, Que. / École Secondaire Félix-Leclerc) both recorded unblemished league records (15-0) at No. 3 and No. 4 singles, respectively.

Upperclassmen Jessica Kruczek (Detroit, Mich. / Lakeview) and Tanya Joseph (Northville, Mich.) round out the Warrior lineup.  Kruczek had a 8-6 GLIAC record at fifth singles, while Joseph won nine of her 14 conference matches (1-0 at No. 5 and 9-4 at No. 6).

Wayne State's first round opponent is seventh-seeded Saginaw Valley.  The Warriors disposed of the Cardinals 9-0 winning all six singles flights in straight sets.

Head coach Sheila Snyder is in her 24th campaign leading the WSU women's tennis program.  The Warriors have finished in the top four at the GLIAC tournament each of the last four years with last year's squad placing second.
