Women's Tennis set to take on Minnesota, Mizzou in Minneapolis
Feb 20, 2020 | Women's Tennis
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis women's tennis heads north for a pair of matches this weekend, traveling to Minneapolis, Minn. The Tigers will face the hosting Gophers on Friday before playing Mizzou on Saturday.
Match time against Minnesota is set for 4 p.m., followed by the match against Missouri on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. at the Baseline Tennis Center.
The weekend is a return date from last season, when Memphis hosted the Gophers and Tigers. Memphis fell to Mizzou 4-3 before rallying to defeat Minnesota 6-1.
Despite inclement weather last week in Florida, the Tigers were able to pick up a win over Florida International last Sunday. Capped by a win on Court 6 from Lina Hohnhold, the Tigers have won three straight matches and four of their last five.
These two matches are numbers two and three of eight-straight on the road for Memphis.
Minnesota, winners of seven in a row, has hosted its last six matches at home, adding seven- and eight-straight this weekend. Of the seven wins, only one is not a sweep, but was a 4-1 finish over Iowa. Mizzou and Minnesota played to a 4-3 finish in favor of the Gophers last year in Memphis.
Missouri heads to Minneapolis with an 8-2 record, having only played one match on the road. The Tigers have won three-straight matches, the last of which coming from a double-header against SEMO on Monday.
Live stats and video streams for both of these matches are available at GoTigersGo.com. For more information on the women's tennis team, follow the Tigers on Twitter at @MemphisTennis.
