MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The 70th-ranked Memphis Tiger women's tennis team won two American Athletic Conference matches over the weekend, including a 4-2 triumph at No. 19 Tulsa.

The Tigers (9-4, 3-0 AAC) won at Wichita State Friday night, 7-0, before earning the 4-2 win at 19th-ranked Tulsa Sunday afternoon.

"I am super proud of this group," Memphis head coach Hayden Perez said. "They were very resilient after losing the doubles point at Tulsa. The girls fought hard, and (assistant coach) Ryan Haymond and I are very happy for them."

After the 7-0 sweep over the Shockers, Memphis headed to Tulsa to face the Golden Hurricane. Tulsa took the doubles point to open up a 1-0 lead in the match, and Memphis' Camila Romero and Monique Woog followed with singles wins in the second and sixth spots, respectively.

Tulsa knotted the match at 2 with a victory in the fifth position, and the Tigers' Alisha Reayer and Emily Meyer closed out the top-20 win with straight-set wins on the fourth and third courts.

Four Tigers went 2-0 in singles play over the weekend. Romero, Meyer, Reayer and Woog all won their matches against both the Shockers and Golden Hurricane. Aran Teixido Garcia beat Wichita State and was unfinished against Tulsa, and Dolavee Tumthong earned a win over Wichita State.

In doubles, the Tiger teams of Teixido Garcia/Meyer, Romero/Reayer and Woog/Camila Soares all picked up victories.

Memphis concludes its road trip Tuesday afternoon at TCU. The match against the Horned Frogs starts at 2 p.m. The Tigers return to Memphis to host Miami (Ohio) and Lipscomb on Friday.
