Women’s tennis looks to tame the Tigers

Fresh off a regular season final 6-1 win over Abilene Christian, the SMU women’s tennis team will take on Memphis in the quarterfinals of the American
Athletic Conference tournament.

The fourth-seeded Mustangs face off against the fifth-seeded Tigers on Thursday in Tulsa at noon.

The teams met in the regular season on April 3, with Memphis knocking off SMU 4-0 in Memphis.

SMU ended the regular season at 15-6 and 3-3 in conference, as well as a No. 70 national ranking.

The Tigers finished their regular season at 9-13 and 4-2 in conference play. They ended their regular season with a loss at Michigan.

Both teams earned a first-round bye in the event.

The winner will play either top-ranked Houston, or the winner of Wednesday’s UConn-East Carolina match if either beats Houston, on Friday at noon.
