CINCINNATI, Ohio -- The Wichita State women's tennis team travels to the Queen City for a pair of dual matches against Cincinnati (Friday) and Xavier (Saturday).
 
The Shockers (9-8) are coming off back-to-back home wins over South Dakota and Omaha in which they captured 13 out of 14 possible points.
 
"This is a chance to build on positive results from last weekend," head coach Colin Foster said. "Obviously, going back out on the road will be a challenge against two formidable opponents, but we just want to keep improving, getting stronger and competing hard. The results will take care of themselves."
 
With rain and high winds in the forecast, Friday's contest against Cincinnati (6-11) has been preemptively pushed indoors to the Western Athletic Club. First serve is scheduled for Noon CT and live scoring will be available via statbroadcast.
 
The Bearcats swept two meetings last year -- including a first-round matchup in the American Athletic Conference Championship – to even the all-time series at 2-2.
 
The Shockers will also be indoors for Saturday's 4 p.m. CT match against Xavier (8-6) at Eastern Hills Tennis Club. Live streaming video will available from all six courts.
 
WSU swept this Cincinnati swing three years ago – less than a week before the COVID-19 shutdown – edging the Bearcats 4-3 and the Musketeers by a 5-2 count.
