Xavier women's tennis faces Kentucky in NCAA tourney

All Sydney Liggins could think about Tuesday afternoon was the NCAA tournament selection show and just where Xavier's women's tennis team might land in its postseason berth.

She and the rest of the Musketeers were thrilled to learn they'll play Kentucky in a first-round match at the University of Michigan, May 13 at 10 a.m. Players and coaches cheered and clapped in a Cintas Center conference room when XU (20-5) was paired with the Wildcats (17-9) in Ann Arbor.

"It's so exciting," said Liggins, a junior. "I love the destination. I'm from Michigan so it's great. My family can watch.
