TicketsCINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati women's tennis team wraps up their season with Dayton and West Virginia at home this week.

Cincinnati (9-11) enters the week after winning two out of three matches last week. UC swept NKU, 7-0, and secured its second Big 12 win of the season after taking down Colorado, 5-1. The Bearcats fell to No. 15 Texas Tech, 4-0, in their final match of the week.
Against Colorado, Sophomore Gabrielle Guenther sealed the win for the Bearcats with a thrilling three-set victory over Ema Bubalo, 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (4). After trailing 4-1 in the final set, Guenther made a remarkable comeback to win in a tiebreak.
In UC's match vs NKU, sophomore Sakurako Watanabe became the first Bearcat to reach double-digit singles wins this season after she recorded a win on court No. 4 over Mariajose Hernandez. The Edgewood, Ky., native cruised through the first set, 6-2. In the second set, Hernandez retired due to injury, giving Watanabe the victory. Her record currently sits at 10-4.
Guenther looks to build off her recent success as she enters the week boasting a three-match win streak and a 9-9 singles record. In doubles, the partnership of graduate student Zeynep Erman and senior Callie Flanagan has been taking care of business recently, as they are in the midst of a three-match win streak.
