•    The Rattlers hold a 6-3 lead in the all-time series with Angelo State, and are 2-0 on a neutral court, knocking ASU out of the 2023 LSC Tournament, and both the 2021 and 2023 NCAA South Central Regional.

•    Junior Selina Wu is 9-1 in her last 10 singles matches and three of her last five victories have come against nationally-ranked opponents, as she knocked off #47 Natalia Gorzny from conference champion, UT Tyler. Wu is 19-3 this spring and 27-6 overall.

•    Senior Alessia Terlizzi returned to the national singles rankings last week, and is currently ranked No. 62. Terlizzi was ranked No. 61 on March 4, but fell out of the rankings the following week. She and Gia Posito are also ranked No. 27 after reaching a season-high No. 24 on April 15.

•    Selina Wu ranks ninth on the St. Mary's career victories list, with 45 career wins. She is also 10th on the combined singles and doubles dual victories chart with 86 wins after going 3-1 in singles and doubles over the final week of the regular season.

•    Senior Alessia Terlizzi was named the LSC Singles Tennis Player of the Week on March 18 , while Gia Posito and junior Selina Wu were named the Lone Star Conference doubles team of the week on Feb. 12.
