MEMPHIS, Tenn.– Memphis women's tennis takes a four-match win streak on the road for its final pair of road contests this weekend.
The Tigers (12-7, 2-3) visit UConn for their final league showdown of the regular season before facing off against Boston University in a neutral-site matchup. First serve against the Huskies is set for noon (CT), with the weekend finale against the Terriers slated for 9 a.m. (CT).
In their last outing, Memphis picked up a road sweep at North Texas, downing the Mean Green 4-0. After taking the doubles point, Lina Hohnhold, Katherine Cao and Laura Bente each picked up singles wins.

Jacqueline Lazaro has produced a 10-5 record, primarily playing at the No. 3 position. In doubles, Pletnyeva and teammate Jacquelyn Fitz-Randolph have also teamed up for a 6-0 mark in doubles action.
