Series: Converse leads 2-0
Last Meeting: Converse won 6-1, March 29, 2023

Converse Notes:
  • The Valkyries enter the match splitting their last two matches. They defeated Lees-McRae 5-2 on Thursday, April 2 and narrowly fell 4-3 to national No. 39 Young Harris on Saturday, April 6.
  • Four Valkyries are tied for the most singles wins this season with seven: freshmen Takuma Furumaki and Manuel Roncero, sophomore Marty Letessier and junior Leopold Morel. All have a singles record above .500 as well.
  • Converse has a winning record on three-of-six doubles courts and a .500 record on one of the remaining three courts.
  • In doubles action, the Valkyries have a winning record at No. 1 and No. 3 singles.

King Notes:
  • King enters the match on a five-match skid, most recently losing to Conference Carolinas associate member Montevallo 5-2.
  • In singles action, King has an 18-49 record, or a .269 winning percentage. No. 3 singles is the only court on which they have a winning record. Senior Alex Sodre has four of the team's seven wins at the position.
  • Three members of the Tornado each have one of the team's wins at No. 1 singles.
  • King does not have a winning record at any doubles position. The closest they are to a better-than-.500 record at any doubles position is at No. 2 doubles where the Tornado has posted a 6-6 record.
