  The University of Evansville Women’s Tennis Team (2-7, 0-0 MVC) will see their first home action of the season on Saturday when they host the University of Tennessee Martin at 4:30 p.m. CST and then will follow that up with a match against Eastern Illinois at 7:30 p.m. CST.  Both matches will be played at Tri-State Athletic Club.  The home action will wrap up a stretch of nine straight road matches for the Aces.
Head Coach Jayson Wiseman said, “Our team is very excited to finally get to host some matches on our home courts.  The traveling to play a number of very tough teams has been good to build mental toughness, but to play at home will be a welcome advantage. Despite the home court advantage we will have to be at the top of our game because both of this weekend’s opponents are very tough.  Hopefully we will get a nice crowd out to support us at Tri-State and create a positive home environment for our teamâ€
