Bracket
MURFREESBORO, Tenn.– With the best regular season in the Charlie Ramsay era behind them, Middle Tennessee's women's tennis team is looking to make a surprise run through the Conference USA Championship starting on Thursday.
The 5-seed Blue Raiders (17-7) are set to take on 12-seed UTSA (8-11), on Thursday at 2 p.m. in Norfolk, Virginia, the site of this year's conference tournament hosted by Old Dominion.
Lidia Burrows led the Blue Raiders in dual match singles wins in the regular season with a record of 13-7, mostly at No. 4 and 5. Newcomers Kim Kermet and Zani Barnard followed closely behind with 12 and 11 spring singles wins, respectively. In doubles, MT was 30-20 as a team, including a 13-5 mark at the No. 3 spot. Kermet paired with Luisa Zirilli mostly at the top doubles spot for an 8-6 record.
As for MT's first round opponent, the Roadrunners bring a 2-0 record against C-USA foes into the tournament and have won three of their last five matches. Laura Cabrera leads her team in dual match singles wins at 14-4, including a 7-3 mark at No. 2. The Roadrunners have a losing record at every doubles position and on all singles courts except No. 4 and 5. Cabrera pairs with Sonia Madronal to be UTSA's best doubles combo with a record of 7-9 at No. 2.
When the live stats link becomes available, it will be posted on Twitter, @MT_WomensTennis, and Facebook, MTSU Women's Tennis.
The winner of the MT vs. UTSA match will take on the winner of the 4-seed FAU vs. 13-seed Marshall matchup on Friday at 1 p.m. in the C-USA Championship Quarterfinals.
