CINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati women's tennis team returns to the courts in what should be a sunny, yet chilly Tampa, Fl. as they face the UTEP Miners and USF Bulls. The Bearcats will open play on Tuesday, March 13 with a noon match against UTEP and will return to the court the next day at the same time to take on USF in American Athletic competition.
// LOOKING BACK
The Bearcats have had a rough stretch, including five straight matches decided by one point. In their last outing against VCU, Iona Guna and Caroline Morton notched another victory in doubles play. In singles action, Antonella Bramato, Emma Miceli and Anna Philp all improved with strong showings.
// SCOUTING THE BEARCATS
Emma Miceli leads the way in singles as she currently holds a four-match win streak in singles action. The freshman has had a strong showing in her first season with the Bearcats and she's not the only one. She is joined by fellow newcomers Iona Guna and Alexia Coutino who are looking to get back on track after a tough outing against VCU.
On the doubles side, the Bearcats continue to be led at court no. 1 by Guna and Sophomore Caroline Morton who are looking to build on their victory against VCU.
// SCOUTING THE MINERS
The Miners have been chipping their way through the season. They opened with two victories before the going through a four-match drought in which they found only a few specks in their gold pans. After notching two victories they enter the match on a three-match skid.
The Miners are led in singles action by Raven Bennett and they hold an overall record of 4-7 for the season.
// SCOUTING THE BULLS
The Bulls come in to the match with their horns sharpened and seeing red as they look to build on their four-match win streak. Highlighted in that stretch is a 4-3 win over Michigan State and a dominating 6-1 win over Western Michigan.
The Bulls are led in singles by Nicole Dzenga, who holds a five-match win streak. In doubles the combinations of Nicole Dzenga/Vanja Klaric and Alexandria Mjos/Ana Roman will look to build on their two-match win streaks.
The Bulls are 6-7 on the season and 2-1 in American Athletic Conference play.
