TEMPE – No. 11 Sun Devil Women’s Tennis wraps up the regular season by facing BYU and Utah starting Thursday at 11 a.m. MST in Provo, Utah against the Cougars. Arizona State (17-4, 9-2 Big 12) will take on Utah at 11 a.m. in Salt Lake City on Saturday, April 11.

Live stats will be available on StatBroadcast for both matches while Saturday’s match against the Utes will be streamed on ESPN+ as part of the Cracked Racquets Big 12 Courtcast coverage.

The Sun Devils have won seven-straight conference games, surpassing ASU’s longest winning streak in conference play since March 22 - April 20, 2024 when ASU won six-straight Pac-12 matches. The team’s 17 wins are the most since 2023.

Junior Emilija Tverijonaite won her eighth-straight match against Colorado last Sunday and was her 30th win in singles play this season. Tverijonaite is the sixth Sun Devil in program history to reach 30+ wins in a season.

Graduate Vivian Ovrootsky clinched the win on senior day against Colorado and improved to 16-0 in duals this spring. Ovrootsky is two wins away from reaching 100 career singles wins and is tied with Tverijonaite for the most conference wins in singles this spring at eight.

Freshman Sarang Lim comes into this week winning her last three singles matches, boasting a 7-4 dual record, and sophomore Aiya Nupbay has been 5-1 this spring.

Live stats will be available on StatBroadcast, and fans can follow live updates on the team’s social media accounts @sundevilwtennis on Instagram and X, Sun Devil Women’s Tennis on Facebook, and on sundevils.com.

Last time out
Arizona State won both of its matches last weekend, extending its winning streak to seven matches. Both wins were at home, allowing the Sun Devils to improve their 9-2 conference record to remain tied atop the Big 12 Conference standings.

The Sun Devils secured a 4-1 victory over the Red Raiders on Friday with Tverijonaite clinching the win, improving ASU’s all-time record to 5-4 against Texas Tech. On Sunday, Ovrootsky clinched a 4-0 sweep over Colorado on Senior Day. Ovrootsky 6-2, 6-3 victory was her 16th-straight singles win of the season.

Sun Devil outlook
No. 11 Arizona State (17-4, 9-2 Big 12)

  • With a win against BYU on Thursday, it would be the eighth-straight win for the Sun Devils and would be the first time in program history that ASU has won 10 conference matches in a season.
  • A victory on Thursday would be ASU’s 18th win of the season, which would be the most since 2016. If ASU wins two matches this week, it would be tied for the third most in a single season at 19 wins.
  • ASU has an 8-1 record all-time against BYU and has won seven straight since 1989.
  • The Sun Devils are 14-1 all-time against Utah and have won 12 straight against the Utes.
  • The Sun Devils are 15-2 this season when they win a singles match from the No. 3 position.

  • Emlija Tverijonaite is one win away from becoming the 19th Sun Devil all-time to reach 75+ career singles wins and carries a 74-25 career record, winning 74.7 percent of singles matches as a Sun Devil.

  • Tverijonaite leads the team with 30 wins in singles this season, which is tied for the fifth most in a season by a Sun Devil.
  • Graduate Vivian Ovrootsky has 28 wins in singles this season, which is tied for sixth all-time in a season. This spring, both Ovrootsky and Tverijonaite have combined for a 33-5 record in singles.
  • Ovrootsky leads the team with 16 wins this dual season, including a perfect 12-0 mark from the No. 3 position. She has won 34 of her last 37 sets since January 17.
  • ASU is 13-2 this season when Tverijonaite wins from the No. 1 spot.
  • The Sun Devils are 11-0 this spring when they win the doubles point.

  • The Sun Devils have six wins this season when they lose the doubles point.

Opponent outlook
No. 27 BYU (18-5, 7-4 Big 12)

  • Bella Lewis has split time between the No. 5 and No. 6 positions in the lineup, going 10-3 this spring.
  • Levelston and Kendall Kovick are ranked No. 78 in the latest ITA doubles rankings with a 10-1 record this season.

    No. 26 Utah (15-6, 8-3 Big 12)
  • Utah is undefeated at home this season, donning a 10-0 record.
  • Last Thursday, the Utes upset No. 22 TCU with a 4-3 victory, which was their ninth-straight win before falling to Baylor, 4-3.
