LAS VEGAS – Nevada Women’s Tennis head into the Mountain West Championship looking to continue its historic 17-win season. The Pack will take on the seventh-seeded Air Force Falcons tomorrow at 10 a.m. at the Darling Tennis Center in Las Vegas, Nev.
The Pack (17-3, 8-2 MW) set a program record for the most wins in a season, eclipsing the previous mark of 16 with a 4-1 win over New Mexico on senior day. The Pack’s year was highlighted by junior Amahée Charrier. Charrier was named Mountain West Player of the Year, becoming the second player in Wolf Pack history to win the award, the first since Claudia Herrero in 2017. Charrier finished the regular season with a program record 26 wins in singles play, including 14 in the spring season and an 8-1 record in conference play.
Charrier was named to the All-MW Singles list for the third year in a row, joined by Marlene Foerster, the Pack’s singles No. 2 player. Foerster finished the spring season 13-4 in singles play, all coming on court two. She won six of her ten conference singles matches, falling in three of them.
Nevada’s depth has helped it achieve its best finish since joining the Mountain West in 2012, boasting a winning record at all six flights. Lou-Anne Guerbert, the Pack’s lone senior, is a cornerstone for the Pack at flight three. Guerbert is 8-4 on court three with a 10-4 record in the spring overall. Silvia-Maria Costache has proven to be an important transfer for the Pack. After two seasons at Kansas, Costache has played 15 matches on court four for Nevada, holding a 9-3 record when playing in the fourth flight. Costache is 1-1 when playing on court three.
The bottom two courts allow for some flexibility for the Pack. Wiem Boubaker has the most results of anyone on court five, holding a 5-3 record. However, Head Coach Guillaume Tonelli has often turned to Kennedy Robinson in the fifth flight, playing four of her last five matches on court five. She owns a 3-2 record in her seven matches at singles No. 5. Robinson has spent some time on court six, where she holds a 6-1 record, but Petra Janigova has been strong for Nevada on court six, winning six of her last seven singles matches, all on court six.
Nevada’s doubles lineup has been set for most of the spring, only changing once in conference play. In the top-flight match, Foerster and Costache share a 9-7 record together, with all their wins coming on court one. On court two, Robinson and Charrier hold a 14-2 record, including five wins in conference play. Janigova and Boubaker round out the doubles lineup, playing all their matches in the third flight, going 13-3 in those matches.
The Wolf Pack has a slew of signature wins, starting with its 4-1 away victory over No. 49 Sacramento State. The Pack dominated the Hornets in Sacramento, marking it as Nevada’s first major win of the season. Nevada then opened Mountain West play 4-0, including a thrilling 4-3 win over No. 44 San Diego State. Nevada’s 4-3 win over San Jose State was the last of the major wins before Nevada broke the program wins record with its 4-1 win against New Mexico.
Air Force does not boast a signature win from the regular season, struggling against power conference opponents and the top teams in the Mountain West. The Falcons came close to a win against Colorado, losing to the Buffaloes, 4-3. Within conference play, Air Force has wins over Utah State, New Mexico, Colorado State, and Wyoming, the bottom four teams in the conference this season.
The Falcons do have the advantage of already playing a match on the Darling Tennis Center courts, with their 4-0 win against 10-seed New Mexico on Wednesday. In the opening round of the Mountain West Tournament, Air Force led in all its singles matches against New Mexico. Alexis Odom played top-flight singles for the Falcons, winning 6-4, 7-5, her eighth win at the top-flight this season. Arianna Van Houweling played No. 2 singles but did not finish her match, which she led 7-6 (3), 3-0. Van Houweling has split time between courts two and three this season, holding a 6-2 record in flight two and a 7-4 record in the third flight. Nadia Kojonroj has been splitting the time with Van Houweling but played No. 3 singles for the Falcons in their win over New Mexico.
In the back half of the lineup, Sofia Mavor led 6-4, 4-5 when her match was abandoned on court four. Mavor has nine wins this spring, with four wins each in flights four and five, and one at flight three. Maya Michalski neared a win on court five, leading 6-3, 5-2, at the end of the match on Wednesday. Michalski has only four results in flight five, with seven results in flights three and four combined. Shivaani Selvan rounded out Air Force’s lineup on Wednesday, playing No. 6 singles. Selvan is 4-2 on court six, with a 6-2 record on courts four and five combined. Elsewhere, Joselyn Limbago and Giovanna Sanchirico have spent time in the bottom half of the Falcons’ lineup.
Air Force has been a strong doubles team, with their primary pair at each flight holding a winning record. In the top-flight, Van Houweling and Kojonroj are 7-5 together, including a 2-1 record in conference play. Despite their record, they were the only pair to lose in their opening round matchup against New Mexico. Odom and Michalski were the most dominant pair for Air Force, going 10-2 together with a 5-1 conference record. Selvan and Mavor close out the doubles lineup with an 8-4 record together, including a 5-3 record in flight three and a 3-0 conference record.
Nevada is looking for its first win at a Mountain West Championships since 2022 when the Pack defeated top-seeded Fresno State in the quarterfinal.
