Women's Tennis Continues Fall Season at Purdue Invitational

CINCINNATI - The Xavier women's tennis team will compete in the Purdue Invitational Sept. 28-30 for their second tournament of the fall season. Teams competing include Ball State, Miami (OH), Western Kentucky, Lipscomb, Wright State, Northern Illinois and Purdue. Events will take place at the Schwartz Tennis Center in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Xavier will look to use their last outing as momentum going into the weekend. The women collected 11 wins at the Greater Cincinnati Invite two weeks ago, as each of Xavier's four competitors went 2-1 in singles play. The Musketeers also added three total doubles wins. Head coach Doug Matthews was happy with the quality of matches his team was able to compete in, but he will be looking for more consistency as the Musketeers move forward this weekend.
