SPRINGFIELD – The Missouri State women's tennis team looks to rebound this weekend as the Bears battle Kansas City on Saturday, Feb. 19, at 1 p.m.Â
MSU is coming off weekend losses to SEMO and Arkansas State falling to 0-5 this season. The Bears were defeated by the Redhawks 6-1, before losing a close, 4-3, match to the Red Wolves on Sunday night.Â
Kansas City comes into its match with the Bears sitting at 0-3 on the year with losses to Arkansas and Central Arkansas. Most recently, the Roos fell to Arkansas State, by the same score the Bears did on Sunday evening. Â
Against the Roos, the Bears look to build on the momentum that several singles players built over the weekend. Playing in the sixth position, Kate Miley earned wins against opponents from both SEMO and Arkansas State. Against the Redhawks, Miley defeated her opponent, 7-5, 7-6(2), before going on to win handily over Arkansas State's Rebecca Brody, 6-2, 6-2 in the weekend's second match. Sandra Lukacova and Juliette Robinson also garnered wins for MSU against the Red Wolves on Sunday with Lukacova defeating Yasmine Humbert, 6-2, 6-1, for her second win of the spring season while Robinson earned her first victory as a Bear in three sets.Â
Saturday's match will take place indoors at the Cooper Tennis Complex.Â
