2023 SUPPORT STAFF

In her first year as a coach with the program, she helped LA Tech to one of its best seasons in program history. The team registered an overall record of 18-6, the second most victories in school history behind only the 21 wins set 40 years ago in 1982. Included in the season was a program-setting 14-match winning streak as well as a 12-match home winning streak, which was also a new record.

LA Tech ended up totaling 81 dual singles wins and 39 dual doubles wins, both ranking second in program history behind only the 1982 squad. Five different players reached double-digit singles victories, led by seniors Ilana Tetruashvili (17 wins) and Najah Dawson (14 wins) who were both named Second Team All-Louisiana. Dawson was also voted Louisiana Newcomer of the Year, becoming the first LA Tech player in school history to receive this award.

In the final 2022 ITA Collegiate Tennis Division I Women’s Regional rankings, LA Tech came in at No. 9 in the southern region. This marked the first time since 2016 that the program finished the season ranked in the top 10 of their region.

Oravcova transitioned to coaching after concluding her four-year career on the courts for LA Tech, having been a three-time C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll recipient and an ITA Scholar-Athlete while earning a degree in Management.

She was a consistent winner on the courts, producing 89 career victories. She registered eight dual victories in singles each of the last three springs and racked up 44 career dual doubles victories, tied for the third most in program history.

The Slovakia native recently earned her MBA from LA Tech.
