0

First year head coach Jayson Wiseman and the University of Evansville Women’s Tennis team kicks off their spring season this weekend.  The Aces start things off with a bang as it will be a busy and eventful weekend to start the season.  On Friday, they will get things started when they travel to Murray State to take on the Racers at 10:00 a.m. CST.  Upon completion of their match with the Racers, the Aces will then travel to Clarksville, TN to take on the Austin Peay Governors at 6:00 p.m. CST.  UE will wrap up the weekend on Sunday when they head to SIU Edwardsville for a 2:00 p.m. CST affair with the Cougars.

 

The Aces are led by lone senior Marina Moreno, who is coming off a 2014-2015 season that boasted an overall record of 14-14 in singles play.  Moreno also was able to go 17-12 in doubles play.  Moreno and the Aces look to improve off their 11-9 overall record in 2015.  They also look to improve upon their 3-4 mark in conference play.

 

UE also features juniors Andjela Brguljan, Elizabeth Mendes, and new transfer Katie Delgado, who joins the Aces from Tyler Junior College in Tyler, TX.  Evansville sophomores include Kennedy Craig and Leah Helpingstine.  Craig saw significant action as a freshman when she compiled a singles record of 20-10 and a doubles record of 12-11.  The last two players on the roster for the Aces are Doreen Crasta and Marine Darzyan, both of which are freshmen.  Both Crasta and Darzyan are coming off solid fall campaigns for the Aces.

 

UE will spend almost the first month of their season on the road.  After this weekend the Aces will be in Chattanooga, TN on February 12th to take on Chattanooga.  The first home action for the Aces will be on February 27th when they take on both UT Martin and Eastern Illinois.
