The 'Bows have won six out of their last seven matches—including sweeping their last two opponents in a pair of WAC wins over Utah State and San Jose State—to conclude a 11-match, 39-day homestand. Senior Barbara Pinterova leads UH into Reno playing at the No. 1 spot in both singles and doubles with partner Jamie Pawid. Pinterova started the season at the No. 3 position going 3-2 but since moving to the No. 1 slot, she has gone 9-4 including the last four-out-of-five matches. In doubles, she and Pawid have been on a roll, winning their last four straight matches.
 
Junior Katarina Poljakova is 11-7 overall but since moving from No. 1 to No. 2 in singles, she has won 9-out-of-12 matches—including winning her last five straight. In doubles she has made a similar change. Poljakova started the season at No. 1 with Pawid and was 3-6, but has managed to turn things around at the No. 2 position going 6-3 since partnering with Xenia Suworowa. Freshman Pawid has made an immediate impact on the team this season, going 14-6 overall and 11-3 in her last 14 matches—winning her last five in a row. Similarly, freshman Martina Kostalova has also been solid this season, with a 13-7 singles record—winning seven out of her last nine matches at the No. 4 slot, including her last five straight. In doubles, she and partner senior Aglae Van den Bergh have a record of 8-5 at No. 3. Van den Bergh has a 7-7 record in singles.
