Women's Tennis drops spring opener to Arkansas

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – After dropping the doubles point via a tiebreaker, the University of Memphis women's tennis team was unable to capture enough singles points to complete the comeback, falling to Arkansas 5-2 on Saturday.

"Today was a great dual match between Arkansas and us," head coach Hayden Perez said of the match. "Doubles came down to a tough tiebreaker and in singles, five of the six matches went to three sets, so I am very proud of today's effort. I think we got better today, even in the loss. Go Tigers!"

The duo of Josephine Cao and Lina Hohnhold claimed the first doubles win of the match in a convincing 6-1 win before defeats on courts 1 and 2 set up the early deficit for the Tigers.
