The Valkyries' best courts are No. 2 and No. 3 singles. Converse has a 7-2 record at both positions.
Freshman Takuma Furumaki owns six of the team's wins at No. 2 singles. He owns one win at each doubles position.
Sophomore Stanley Waters has posted the most doubles victories of any Valkyrie with five. Two of those wins came with freshman Ben Hyde-Smith and two came with junior Cameron Davies.

Lander Notes:

Despite winning eight of their nine matches this season, Lander enters Tuesday's match on a one-match losing streak after dropping a nonconference contest to national No. 5 Valdosta State.
The closest match Lander has had all season came in a 4-3 victory over Mount Olive on Feb. 9.
Despite a top-ten team ranking, Lander currently has no one ranked in the ITA's singles rankings. Two Bearcat duos are ranked in the latest doubles rankings: Hugo Regner and Matthew De Groot (No. 43) and Markus Sorensen and Nick Beamish (No. 48).
Hugo has played all matches at No. 1 singles this season. Including tournaments and exhibitions, he has a 12-3 singles record. Competing at No. 1 doubles as well, he, paired with De Groot, have a 14-9 record including exhibitions and tournaments.
