Women’s tennis falls to Alabama and Auburn to start SEC play

Kentucky women’s tennis traveled to Alabama this weekend to take on No.12 Auburn and Alabama to begin SEC play, falling to both teams with respective scores of 5-2 and 6-1.

The Wildcats struggled early in each match, losing the doubles point to fall in an early 1-point deficit.

At No. 12 Auburn, Kentucky’s singles play simply could not keep up with Tigers who have four ranked players.

Lizzy Stevens, who plays at No.1 singles for the Cats, proved no match for Auburn’s No. 13 Carolyn Ansari, falling 1-6 in straight sets to give the Tigers the 2-0 lead.
