 University of Evansville women’s tennis (8-19, 0-7) heads back to Wichita State this weekend to take on the Shockers in the first round of the MVC Team Championships.  The Aces were in Wichita this past Saturday and were defeated at the hand of the Shockers by a score of 4-0.  The Aces come into the match as the 8th seed in the tournament.  The Shockers on the other hand come into the match as the #1 seed and are currently ranked 28th in the nation according to the ITA.
The MVC Team Championships will likely wrap up the season for the Aces.  This also means that it will likely be the final couple of matches for Aces Senior Marina Moreno.
Going into the match, the Aces found out Tuesday that Aces Junior Andjela Brguljan was named Academic All-Conference Honorable Mention.
Head Coach Jayson Wiseman said on Brguljan’s accomplishment, “We are exceptionally proud of Andjela, and she is deserving of this honor.  Andjela is a perfect example of what UE athletics is really all about; success on the playing field, even more successful in the classroom.  It’s nice to see the rest of the league recognizing her for her outstanding academic achievement.â€
