Also back after a year away from tennis is 2018 All-Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Second Team singles selection in junior Emilia Richter. Sophomore Emma Fleming also owns some all-conference hardware, as she teamed for a 2019 All-PBC Second Team honor in doubles.
Scouting the Trojans
The Trojans enter the matchup with the Bears with a 1-1 on the season. Troy's lone win for the season came against Alabama State and the loss coming against Alabama.
Playing in the No. 1 spot for the Trojans is Metea Mihaljevic. She is currently 2-3 overall this year and 0-2 in dual competitions. Anastasii Khokhlova is 1-3 overall during the 2020-21 season and this spring is 1-1 playing in the No. 2 spot for the Trojans.
