Outlook
Based on the final month of the 2017 season, Concordia women’s tennis appears that it may be ready for a breakthrough. Prior to their conference tournament semifinal loss to GPAC champion Hastings, the Bulldogs won four of five matches. Not long before, they dropped a narrow 5-4 decision at the hands of Doane, which lost only one conference match in 2017.
With nearly all of their key returners back in place, the Bulldogs triumphed in two of three outings this past fall, turning in wins over Kansas Wesleyan University and Nebraska Wesleyan. There’s momentum inside the program under fourth-year head coach Joel Reckewey, now assisted by Nikita Kostikov.
Said Reckewey, “I was impressed with their ability to take the court and be business-like and play smart tennis with a positive attitude. Obviously Annie Horn is leading this group of players. We have some confidence and now we have some depth. That’s really bolstered our team. I think we can go out and have a successful season.”
Now in her final semester as a Bulldog, Horn is ready for another big season after recording a 15-4 singles record as a junior. She ended the campaign with a 13-match win streak. Having recorded her 30th career singles win back in the fall, Horn stands out as one of the program’s more accomplished tennis players in recent years.
“As far as I’m concerned, she’s playing the best tennis she has her entire career,” Reckewey said. “This is going to be fun for Annie to take the court. She’s playing No. 1 singles and she’s playing well. She’s confident. I’m really excited to coach her and I’m looking forward to her final season.”
Four of Horn’s teammates possess extensive college experience: senior Alison Ebel, juniors Kayla Smock and Katelinn Wurm and sophomore Kirsten Wagner. As doubles partners, Horn and Wagner combined to go 6-0 against GPAC competition last season. Additionally, Smock and Wurm have a strong bond and are extremely familiar with playing with one another on the doubles court. As a freshman, Wagner played mostly at No. 5 singles, where she went 8-7.
Then there are the freshmen, who make up a large chunk of the roster. Among them, Ansley Gates (Lincoln), Allison Marshall (Woodbury, Minn.) and Claudia Miranda Viera (Madrid, Spain) each competed in matches back in September with all three picking up their first career collegiate wins. Miranda Viera even got a chance to play at the No. 1 singles spot. Gates, a Lincoln Southwest High School product, came up with a tournament championship during the fall season.
According to Horn, the increased practice time this offseason is paying off. Those practice start times can vary from 6 a.m. all the way to 7 p.m. Horn says they’ll do “whatever we have to do.”
Continued Horn, “We’ve increased our practices by double from what we had in previous years. That will just help us go into every match knowing we’ve worked for it and we deserve it as much as the person on the other side of the court.”
If ever lack of motivation, or senioritis, creeps in for Horn, all she has to do is think about how her collegiate career is dwindling away. The light at the end of the tunnel suddenly visible, Horn’s perspective is changing.
“It makes me appreciate 6 a.m. practices a lot more than I would have in previous years,” Horn said. “Every moment I’m on the court I’m trying to take advantage and appreciate every single minute that I have with my team left. It is my last season so I’m motivated to go into it wholeheartedly.”
Based upon last year’s final standings, Concordia must climb above Hastings, Doane and Morningside if it wishes to taste championship glory. It would be a good start in working towards that aim if the Bulldogs can open up the spring on a positive note. It all gets started on Saturday, Feb. 10 when the Bulldogs take on Grand View University in Lincoln.
Back half of lineup lifts Bulldogs to spring opening win
LINCOLN, Neb. – A solid start to the 2017-18 season continued on Saturday (Feb. 10) with the opening of the spring campaign for the Concordia University women’s tennis team. Despite the absence of senior standout Annie Horn, the Bulldogs managed to eke out a 5-4 victory over Grand View University in a match played at Genesis Health Club in Lincoln, Neb.
Fourth-year head coach Joel Reckewey’s squad also captured fall wins over Kansas Wesleyan University and Nebraska Wesleyan. Concordia has pushed its overall record to 3-1.
“I’m proud of the way we competed,” Reckewey said. “They never gave up and they found a way to win. These are the types of close wins that are important for boosting our confidence so we will be even stronger in the tough matches to come this season.”
The back half of the lineup did much of the heavy lifting. The Bulldogs picked up wins at the Nos. 4 through 6 singles spots courtesy of Alison Ebel, Kirsten Wagner and Kayla Smock, respectively. Ebel and Katelinn Wurm combined for an 8-3 win at No. 2 doubles and Smock and Allison Marshall collaborated on an 8-1 rout at the No. 3 doubles spot. They helped drop the Vikings to 1-2 overall.
When Horn returns, the rest of the lineup will slide back in place. Horn played at either No. 1 or 2 singles and at No. 1 doubles during three fall matches.
The Bulldogs will make their first on-campus appearance of 2018 next Friday (Feb. 16) when Baker University visits the Fieldhouse. The match is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. CT.
Wurm wins two in team loss to Baker
SEWARD, Neb. – Junior Katelinn Wurm turned in a pair of victories while highlighting a 7-2 loss to visiting Baker University inside the Fieldhouse on Friday evening (Feb. 16). The Wildcats (2-0) made their first appearance of the spring season after opening up 2017-18 action with a win over Hesston College in October.
Fourth-year head coach Joel Reckewey’s women’s tennis squad returned to the courts for the first time since its 5-4 win over Grand View University of Feb. 10. The Bulldogs slipped to 3-2 overall this season.
“It was a tough match tonight. I thought we competed hard,” Reckewey said. “I’m seeing some improvement compared to last year when we played this team (a 9-0 loss). We were able to capture one of the doubles points, which was really good for the girls. That should give us some confidence. This was a good test for our team. This will help us get better down the road.”
A mainstay in the lineup ever since arriving at Concordia via her hometown of Bradenton, Fla., Wurm notched her second singles victory of the season by defeating Sophie Robertson, 4-6, 6-3 (10-4), at No. 3 singles. Wurm also teamed up with senior Alison Ebel on a tight triumph at No. 3 doubles.
“Katelinn is a leader on the team,” Reckewey said. “She’s letting her racket do the talking and really performing at a high level.”
Senior Annie Horn returned to the No. 1 singles and doubles positions after missing last week’s match against Grand View. Horn fell, 6-1, 6-1, in her singles match. At No. 4 singles, Ebel was narrowly beaten out, 6-2, 3-6 (12-10). Other singles competitors for the Bulldogs were Claudia Miranda Viera at No. 2, Kirsten Wagner at No. 5 and Kayla Smock at No. 6.
The Bulldogs will wait a week before returning to action next Friday (Feb. 23) when they take on Ottawa University at 4 p.m. CT. Genesis Health Club in Lincoln will serve as the host venue. Concordia will attempt to avenge a 6-3 loss at the hands of the Braves last season.
Concordia slips in nonconference tilt with Ottawa
LINCOLN, Neb. – A singles victory at the No. 6 spot allowed the Concordia University women’s tennis team to avoid being blanked in Friday’s (Feb. 23) 8-1 loss that came at the hands of Ottawa University. The Braves won all three doubles matchups in a contest that took place inside Genesis Health Club in Lincoln, Neb.
Fourth-year head coach Joel Reckewey’s squad sits at 3-3 overall. It has banked wins over Kansas Wesleyan University, Nebraska Wesleyan University and Grand View University.
Junior Kayla Smock nearly pulled off a perfect day near the bottom of the lineup. She squeaked by with a 7-6 (5) win at No. 6 singles. She team with Allison Marshall at No. 3 doubles, which resulted in a narrow 9-7 defeat. The Bulldogs also hung close at the Nos. 3, 4 and 5 singles spots.
In order, Reckewey’s singles lineup consisted of Annie Horn, Claudia Viera Miranda, Kirsten Wagner, Katelinn Wurm, Alison Ebel and Smock.
Up next is a big weekend at home March 2-3. Over those two days, Concordia will host Sterling College and Kansas Wesleyan.
Bulldogs sweep away weekend KCAC opponents
SEWARD, Neb. – While welcoming two opponents from the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference to the Fieldhouse on back-to-back days, the Concordia University women’s tennis team earned wins by identical 7-2 scores. The Bulldogs protected their home turf on Friday and Saturday (March 2-3) by toppling Sterling College and Kansas Wesleyan University.
Fourth-year head coach Joel Reckewey’s squad improved to 5-3 overall with a big week of spring break action ahead.
In Friday’s win over Sterling, Concordia took four of six singles matches and all three doubles matches. The Bulldogs also swept through doubles action and won four of six singles contests on Saturday. Junior Katelinn Wurm, who played at No. 2 singles on Friday and then at No. 3 on Saturday, notched a pair of singles wins while also teaming up with Claudia Miranda Viera on two doubles triumphs. Reckewey used four different doubles teams as part of perfect weekend in that category.
Six Bulldogs turned in one singles win apiece on the weekend: Annie Horn, Allison Marshall, Miranda Viera, Kayla Smock, Amanda VonSeggern and Kirsten Wagner. Concordia continues to enjoy success at the bottom of its lineup. It has gone 7-1 at both No. 6 singles and No. 3 doubles.
Concordia improved upon its 6-3 win at Kansas Wesleyan that occurred back on Sept. 7. The Bulldogs are now 3-1 this season against KCAC foes.
Beginning on March 7, Concordia will open up a stretch of four-straight days with a match. During that time, the Bulldogs will take on four different teams while touring the state of Kansas: Tabor College, Bethel College, Hesston College and Friends University.
Concordia falls twice against KCAC foes
A run of four matches in four days began Wednesday and Thursday (March 7-8) with defeats at the hands of Tabor College and Bethel College, two members of the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference. The Bulldog women’s tennis team is 3-3 against KCAC foes.
Head coach Joel Reckewey’s squad stands at 5-5 overall with two matches left this spring break.
The only triumph at Tabor was at No. 2 doubles from the combo of Claudia Miranda Viera and Katelinn Wurm. Then on Thursday, Annie Horn (No. 1), Miranda Viera (No. 4) and the combo of Horn and Kirsten Wagner at No. 1 doubles picked up wins.
The Kansas tour will continue on Friday at Hesston College and then on Saturday at Friends University.

The defeats were suffered at the hands of Tabor College and Bethel College.
Fourth-year head coach Joel Reckewey’s squad now stands at 7-5 overall. The Bulldogs have posted more overall wins than any other team in the GPAC.
In Saturday’s spring break capper, Concordia won all three doubles matches and took care of all singles matches with the exception of the Nos. 3 and 5 positions. At No. 1, senior Annie Horn rebounded from a loss on Wednesday by winning her final three matches of the week. She defeated Friends’ Amanda Zavala, 6-1, 6-3, on Saturday.

Bulldogs sweep doubles, topple Prairie Wolves
LINCOLN, Neb. – While matching up with Nebraska Wesleyan for the second time during the 2017-18 season, the Concordia University women’s tennis team produced a similar result. The Bulldogs swept through doubles action on their way to a 7-2 victory at Woods Tennis Center in Lincoln, Neb., on Wednesday (March 28).
Head coach Joel Reckewey’s squad has won four in a row and has moved to 9-5 overall. Concordia also defeated Nebraska Wesleyan by an 8-1 score back in October.

Former GPAC rival Nebraska Wesleyan fell to 3-18 overall. The Prairie Wolves were coming off a 6-3 win over Sterling College (Kan.).
Conference play is up next for the Bulldogs, who are slated to play at Doane (3-6, 0-0 GPAC) on Wednesday, April 4. First serve is scheduled for 4 p.m. CT from Crete.
Miranda Viera nets GPAC player of the week honors
SEWARD, Neb. – A key performer in last week’s win at Nebraska Wesleyan, freshman Claudia Miranda Viera has been named the GPAC/Hauff Mid-America Sports Women’s Tennis Player of the Week, as announced on Wednesday (April 4) by the conference. She is the second Bulldog tennis player this season to earn such an honor. Junior Thomas Greeff earned the award on the men’s side on March 14.
A native of Torrejón de Ardoz, Madrid, Spain, Miranda Viera has become a fixture in the lineup in her first collegiate season. In the 7-2 win at Nebraska Wesleyan on March 28, she turned in an 8-1 singles win over Madi Hinshaw at the No. 3 position. She also teamed with junior Katelinn Wurm on a 9-8 victory at No. 3 doubles. As a team, Concordia improved to 9-5 overall. The Bulldogs own the top overall winning percentage among GPAC squads.
A biology major, Miranda Viera has gone 5-6 in singles and 5-1 in doubles this season. In singles action, she has made appearances at each of the one through four spots in the lineup.
Miranda Viera and her teammates are set to return to action today (April 4) with their GPAC opener at Doane. First serve is scheduled for 4 p.m. CT.
Four-match win streak ends in GPAC opener
CRETE, Neb. – Although senior Annie Horn kept her GPAC singles win streak alive, the Concordia University women’s tennis team came up short in its efforts to start conference play with a victory. Doubles play made the difference for host Doane, which came away with a 5-4 win on Wednesday evening (April 4) in Crete.
The defeat snapped a four-match win streak for head coach Joel Reckewey’s squad, which stands at 9-6 overall.
Horn has now won eight GPAC regular-season singles matches in a row dating back to her sophomore season. The Denver, Colo., native topped Ashley Zaeske at the No. 1 spot, 7-6 (9-7), 6-2. Reigning GPAC player of the week Claudia Miranda Viera also turned in a victory at No. 3 singles and senior Alison Ebel did the same at No. 5.
Unfortunately for Concordia, it fell behind 2-1 after doubles play. The combo of Ebel and junior Kayla Smock won by an 8-5 decision at No. 3. Horn and partner Kirsten Wagner dropped a tight 8-6 battle at No. 1.
Doane (4-7, 1-0 GPAC) held off the Bulldogs by splitting the six singles matches. The Tigers were coming off a 5-4 loss to Grand View University (Iowa) in their most recent outing.
Concordia is scheduled to play again Saturday with a trek to Morningside (6-4, 0-0 GPAC) on the slate. First serve is set for 12 p.m. CT from Sioux City, Iowa.
Comeback bid falls short
SEWARD, Neb. – Despite coming up empty in doubles play, the Concordia University women’s tennis team nearly rallied for victory while hosting Midland on the Bulldog Tennis Courts on Wednesday evening (April 11). Concordia ultimately dropped a nailbiter, 5-4, to the visiting Warriors in a match that came down to No. 6 singles.
Fourth-year head coach Joel Reckewey’s squad slipped to 9-7 overall and to 0-2 in conference play. Both GPAC defeats have come by a 5-4 score.
“I was proud of the way the girls competed tonight,” Reckewey said. “We did not have a great start in doubles. It’s tough to bounce back when you are down 3-0 in a match but we didn’t give up. We found a way to pull off some victories, to make a close match and have an opportunity to win at the end.”
The battle of No. 1’s was a good one between senior Annie Horn and Midland’s Gretchen Cooper. Horn fought back from down a set and then outlasted Cooper in the 10-point tiebreaker (4-6, 6-3, 10-6). Horn never trailed in the tiebreaker but had to stave off a late rally from her Warrior counterpart. Horn has now won nine GPAC regular-season singles matches in a row.
The match ultimately came down to the outcome at No. 6 singles. All eyes were on Concordia’s Kayla Smock and Midland’s Danielle Martin with the team score tied, 4-4. Smock wound up just a couple of plays short of forcing a tiebreaker. Martin won, 6-0, 7-5.
Also in singles action, Katelinn Wurm (No. 3) and Alison Ebel (No. 5) were victorious in tiebreakers. Wurm won, 2-6, 6-4, 15-13, while Ebel claimed victory, 6-4, 3-6, 10-7.
“We are playing well at those individual spots,” Reckewey said. “Alison is a senior and she’s got a lot of experience and Annie is finding her stride. We just need to get to a point where we’re all playing well on the same day.”
The Bulldogs suffered narrow doubles defeats at No. 2 (9-7) and No. 3 (8-6). Concordia employed Claudia Miranda Viera and Wurm at No. 2 and Ebel and Smock at No. 3.
The Bulldogs are scheduled to have a week off before returning to action next Wednesday (April 18) for another home match. College of Saint Mary (6-5, 3-0 GPAC) will serve as the opponent for a match set to get started at 5:30 p.m. CT. The Flames have opened up conference play with wins over Mount Marty, Northwestern and Doane.
Bulldogs earn first GPAC win with blanking of Northwestern
LINCOLN, Neb. – A match originally scheduled to take place on the Concordia University campus changed venues to Genesis Health Club in Lincoln, Neb., on Saturday afternoon (April 21). The Bulldog women’s tennis team looked sharp while dispatching of Northwestern, 9-0. In the process, Concordia earned its first GPAC win of the season.
Fourth-year head coach Joel Reckewey’s squad improved to 10-7 overall and to 1-2 in conference play. The Bulldogs had come up on the wrong end of 5-4 scores in their first two tries against GPAC foes.
Concordia gained a commanding lead at the conclusion of doubles play in matches decided by scores of 8-5, 8-5 and 8-4, respectively. Doubles teams included the likes of Annie Horn and Kirsten Wagner at No. 1, Claudia Miranda Viera and Katelinn Wurm at No. 2 and Alison Ebel and Kayla Smock at No. 3. Those same six players also each earned singles wins. The closest call came at No. 2, where Wurm rallied and then won a 10-point tiebreaker (1-6, 6-1, 12-10).
At No. 1 singles, Horn took care of Zoe Holscher, 6-2, 6-2. Horn moved to 3-0 this season in GPAC singles matches while extending her win streak in conference regular-season contests to 10. Horn is 9-4 in 2017-18 when playing at the No. 1 singles spot. Miranda Viera and Wurm both claimed their eighth singles victories.
Four more GPAC matches remain on the regular-season schedule for Concordia women’s tennis. Up next is Tuesday’s (April 24) home match versus College of Saint Mary (7-6, 3-1). The Flames dropped a 6-3 decision in Saturday’s showdown with Hastings – a matchup that featured two teams previously undefeated in GPAC play. The Bulldogs topped CSM, 5-4, in last season’s GPAC quarterfinal meeting.
Ebel claims pair of wins; Bulldogs push Hastings
HASTINGS, Neb. – First-place Hastings had entered the day having won three of its four GPAC matches by 9-0 scores. On Wednesday (April 25) in Hastings, the Concordia University women’s tennis team made a run at the Broncos before falling by a 6-3 final. Senior Alison Ebel led the charge for the Bulldogs by earning victories at No. 5 singles and No. 3 doubles.
Fourth-year head coach Joel Reckewey’s squad slipped to 10-8 overall and to 1-3 in conference play. Concordia was coming off a 9-0 win over Northwestern this past weekend.
An upset of Hastings (8-5, 5-0 GPAC), currently receiving votes nationally, would have been a game changer for the Bulldogs, who have had a challenging slate to open up conference play. While Ebel was perfect on the evening, sophomore Kirsten Wagner picked up a win, 6-2, 6-3, at No. 4 singles. Concordia also pushed the Broncos at Nos. 2 and 3 singles (spots held down by Katelinn Wurm and Claudia Miranda Viera, respectively) and at No. 2 doubles, where Wurm and Miranda Viera teamed up. Miranda Viera dropped a 10-set tiebreaker.
At No. 1 singles, Annie Horn had her streak of 10-straight wins during GPAC regular-season action interrupted by Kelsey Brown. Horn fell, 6-0, 6-1. The final position in the singles lineup was filled by junior Kayla Smock, who also joined Ebel on the 8-1 victory at No. 3 doubles.
The Bulldogs will try again to make up their match with College of Saint Mary (8-6, 4-1 GPAC). The two sides are now set to meet on the Concordia campus at 5:30 p.m. CT on Thursday. Last season Concordia topped the Flames, 5-4, in the quarterfinals of the GPAC tournament.
In final home match for seniors, Bulldogs eke out GPAC win
SEWARD, Neb. – It came down to the very last match but in the end, the Concordia University women’s tennis team claimed victory on an evening when three seniors appeared at home for the final time in their careers. The Bulldogs rode a perfect run in doubles to a nail-biting 5-4 win over visiting College of Saint Mary on Thursday evening (April 26) on the Bulldog Tennis Courts.
Fourth-year head coach Joel Reckewey’s squad has now won two of its last three GPAC matches and has improved to 11-8 overall and to 2-3 in conference play.
Afterwards, senior Annie Horn reflected on a collegiate career that is nearing the end. Horn grew into one of the top players in the GPAC over the course of her distinguished four-year run with Concordia.
Said Horn, “It has been such an incredible experience playing for this team and with these girls for the last four years. I tried not to focus too much on the emotional side of things until after the match, but it definitely hit me on the last point of singles. It has been such an honor and a blessing to represent this team and this school as a Bulldog for the last four years. I wouldn’t trade a moment of this experience for anything!”
Horn and Kirsten Wagner teamed up on an 8-6 win at No. 1 doubles. The Bulldog combos of Claudia Miranda Viera and Katelinn Wurm at No. 2 and Alison Ebel and Kayla Smock at No. 3 also turned in victories to seemingly put Concordia in control of the match. However, the Flames won four of the first five singles matches that went final.
That meant all eyes were on No. 6 singles where Smock and Adriana Olague squared off. In a bout filled with drama, Smock came out on top, 6-1, 3-6, 10-7. She joined Miranda Viera as the lone Bulldogs to record singles wins. Horn was defeated, 6-4, 6-2, at No. 1.
Horn, Ebel and Amanda VonSeggern are the three seniors on this year’s roster. All three have been members of the program for four years.
The Flames (8-7, 4-2 GPAC) began conference play with three wins in a row. They were coming off a 6-3 victory over Midland on Sunday.
The Bulldogs will be in action for the third day in a row when they head to Sioux City, Iowa, for a pair of matches on Friday. Concordia will take on Morningside (7-8, 1-4 GPAC) at 11 a.m. and the Mount Marty (1-6, 0-5 GPAC) at 3 p.m.
Concordia goes 1-1 on final day of regular season
SIOUX CITY, Iowa – The Concordia University women’s tennis team just missed out on winning twice while closing the regular season in Sioux City, Iowa, on Friday (April 27). The Bulldogs dropped a 5-4 decision to host Morningside before rallying with a 9-0 white washing of Mount Marty.
Fourth-year head coach Joel Reckewey’s squad will enter the postseason at 12-9 overall and at 3-4 in conference play. All seven GPAC matches were played during the month of April.
Concordia slipped in its first match of the day despite the Mustangs (8-8, 2-4 GPAC) conceding at the Nos. 5 and 6 singles and No. 3 doubles spots. The lone contested win for the Bulldogs came at No. 1 singles where stalwart Annie Horn cruised to a 6-2, 6-0, triumph over Erica Sherman. Concordia suffered losses in 10-point tiebreakers at each of the Nos. 2, 3 and 4 positions in the lineup, which were held down by Claudia Miranda Viera, Kirsten Wagner and Alison Ebel, respectively.
The Bulldogs regrouped by breezing to victory over Mount Marty (1-8, 0-7 GPAC). The Lancers also conceded three matches. Three of the four singles contests that were played featured pro sets. Horn, Miranda Viera, Wagner and Smock won contested singles matches. In doubles, Horn and Wagner and Ebel and Kayla Smock took home victories.
As it stands right now, Concordia would be the No. 5 seed in the GPAC tournament that will be played next Friday and Saturday (May 4-5) in Fremont, Neb. Complete pairings will be announced when all conference regular-season matches have been finished.
