Memphis downs Cincinnati to advance in AAC Championships

DALLAS, Texas – Memphis women's tennis scored revenge Wednesday morning, defeating Cincinnati 4-1 in the opening round of the American Athletic Conference Championships.

The Tigers (16-7, 3-3) extended their win streak to eight matches and now face second-seeded Tulsa in the quarterfinal round on Thursday at 3 p.m.

Having dropped the previous three meetings to the Bearcats, including a 5-2 decision earlier this season, the Tigers struck quickly in doubles and used three singles wins from the top of their lineup to earn the victory.

"What a great team effort today," Head Coach Hayden Perez said.
