CINCINNATI - Xavier women's tennis travels to Lubbock, Texas, to start the 2025 dual season, now facing Texas Tech in the opener, set for Sunday, January 19 at 11:00 a.m. ET. The Musketeers were originally schedule to face ACU in the season opener on Saturday, but the match has been canceled due to cold temperatures forecasted in the region.

Live stats are available for the match with the Red Raiders.

TEXAS TECH

The match with Xavier is the season opener for the Red Raiders.
TTU went 20-9 last season with a 10-3 record in Big 12 play. The Red Raiders earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, picking up a win over No. 54 Denver in the opening round before falling to No. 8 UCLA in the second round.
This is the first match-up between the two programs.

UPCOMING SCHEDULE

Next weekend, Xavier heads to East Lansing, Mich., for a pair of matches.
The Musketeers will take on Michigan State on Friday, Jan. 24 at 5:00 p.m.
Xavier remains at MSU to face West Virginia on Saturday, Jan. 25, set for a noon start.

THE MUSKETEERS

The Musketeers are looking for their fifth-straight, and sixth overall, BIG EAST Championship, and look to make a return trip to the NCAA Championship.
Xavier returned six student-athletes from last year's BIG EAST Championship roster including juniors Emily Flowers, Abby Nugent and Abigail Siminski as well as sophomores Ellie Brotherton and Sofia Mazzucato and senior transfer Elizabeth Pendergast, who made her debut as a Musketeer this fall. Xavier also added a trio of freshmen to the roster, Clara Owen, Madeleine Rexroat and Natalie Smitek.
Xavier wrapped up the fall schedule with Abby Nugent and Clara Owen becoming the first players in program history to compete in doubles at the NCAA Individual Championships. The pair earned the bid after advancing to the finals of the ITA Conference Masters Championships.
Madeleine Rexroat also took part in the ITA Conference Masters Championships, representing the BIG EAST in singles. Elizabeth Pendergast and Emily Flowers competed at the ITA Sectional Championships as a doubles team, with Pendergast also playing in the singles draw.
