MOSCOW, Idaho – The Idaho women's tennis team and head coach
Sanne Louwers have officially announced the dual schedule for the upcoming 2024 spring season.
The Vandals return all six players who started in the lineup a season ago, including All-Big Sky First Team Singles selection,
Annabel Davis. Idaho also welcomes a good mix of youth to an experienced roster, with three freshmen joining the team in the fall -
Ida Johansson (Umea, Sweden),
Diana Khaydarshina (Krasnodar, Russia) and
Naomi Schraeder (Kelowna, Canada).
The first match of the 2024 spring season will kick off in Thibodaux, Louisiana when the Vandals compete in three matches over three days. The program will square off against Nicholls State on February 2 before rounding out play in a pair of neutral site matches versus McNeese State (Feb. 3) and Lamar (Feb. 4).
Idaho will stay in the warm part of the country for two more matches, traveling to Phoenix, Arizona. The Vandals meet Grand Canyon on February 11 and UC Riverside on February 12.
A seven-match road stretch ends in Laramie, Wyoming, as the Vandals compete against the University of Wyoming on February 17 and South Dakota on February 18 before heading back up to Moscow.
Over the next month, Idaho will compete in five of six matches on its home courts, including a home debut in the P1FCU Kibbie Dome on February 24 against Utah State.
The month of March will see three non-conference matches, four Big Sky competitions and four home meetings. A quick trip to the Puget Sound to face Seattle U on March 3 begins the month before Idaho finishes out non-conference play at home against Pacific (March 11) and Lewis-Clark State College (March 13).
Conference action begins when the Vandals welcome Montana and Montana State to Moscow. Idaho will face the Grizzlies on March 15 and follow with a matchup against the Bobcats on March 17. The team closes the month with a trip to Cheney to face Eastern Washington on March 23 and Ogden to play Weber State on March 29.
Idaho will close the final month of the regular season on the road to face Portland State on April 6 and Northern Arizona on April 11 before finishing out the regular season in Lewiston, Idaho for a pair of conference competitions.
The Vandals host Sacramento State on April 14 before wrapping up regular season action against Idaho State for Senior Day on April 19.
The Big Sky Championships will take place Apri 25-27 in Phoenix, inviting the top six teams in the conference to compete for an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament.
