The day after the men’s doubleheader on Thursday, the Lady ‘Cats travel to San Antonio to match up against the University of Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners, a Division I school. And both the men and women’s teams will play Incarnate Word and St. Edward’s in regional action on Saturday and Sunday.

“We’ll see Incarnate Word at least one more time, maybe twice,” said Head Coach Hutton Jones. “We’ll play them in the conference tournament and, probably, again in regionals. We need to establish ourselves in these matches, and learn more about our opponent for next time.”

This weekend is just part of a busy spring break for the tennis teams. ACU will head to Nevada for the Las Vegas Invitational next week, then end the break with a match against Midwestern State University on March 20.

“My goals are to be competitive, be a good doubles partner and have fun,” said sophomore Julia Mongin of the busy upcoming schedule. “I think this is great, travelling with the whole team over spring break and playing the sport I love. We will have fun, for sure.”

Both teams are coming off an impressive weekend: The men swept every point against all four schools they faced, and the women nearly did the same. The ladies’ team is riding a 9-game win streak into Friday.
“We rolled through last weekend. We were supposed to win,” said Jones. “Over the next 10 days, we’ll be playing tougher schools, including some from Division I.”

At the tournament in Las Vegas, all of the Wildcats’ matches will be against Division II schools who are ranked higher, nationally, than ACU.

“Regardless of the opponent, this is high-level college tennis, and all matches are tough,” Jones said. “These will be slugfests.”
