Women's Tennis set to host Belmont Saturday

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After a 2-0 start to the season last weekend, the Lipscomb women's tennis returns to action Saturday to host the Battle of the Boulevard.
The Bisons welcome Belmont (0-1) to Whitworth Racquet Club at 7 p.m.

Lipscomb will look to keep the unbeaten streak going after defeating UT Martin (6-1) and Western Kentucky (4-2) to open the spring season, giving the program its first 2-0 start since 2014.

Senior Kate Popova was named the ASUN's Player of the Week after going 3-1 overall between singles and doubles action. She won both outings at No. 1 singles, and split as the top pairing with Emma Zakordoniec.

Anja Trbeznik brings a 2-0 mark into Saturday in singles after winning both of her matches on the third line.

Belmont enters the match looking for its first win of the season after getting blanked 7-0 by future ASUN Conference member Central Arkansas.

Lipscomb downed the Bruins 6-1 last season and has won 7-straight meetings in the series history.
