TicketsCINCINNATI — The University of Cincinnati women's tennis team is set to host the Ball State Cardinals at 1:00 p.m. inside the Western Athletic Club on Wednesday afternoon.
The Bearcats (4-1) look to further the momentum built off of a hard fought home victory against rival Miami (OH), 4-3, at Lindner Family Tennis Center this past Saturday.
While the RedHawks took the doubles point in the match, the Bearcats brought the energy in singles play, claiming victories on four courts. Sakurako Watanabe set the tone for Cincinnati, earning the first singles victory against Lovisa Valentinsson in a quick 6-1, 6-0 match.
Along with Watanabe, the Bearcats also saw victories in singles play from Tara Kurepa, Rozalia Gruszczynska, and Milica Popovski.
