TROY, Ala. - After splitting the Peach State swing at Lunsford this past weekend, 1-1, Troy travels west to Texas to face Texas State and UT-Arlington, with both matches set for 10 a.m.

On Saturday, the Lonestar state battle opens against the Bobcats (4-10, 1-3 SBC) at the Bobcat Tennis Complex. Next, the Trojans (6-9, 1-3 SBC) head to the UTA Tennis Center on Sunday to face the Mavericks (14-1, 3-0 SBC).

Troy looks to get things rolling in conference play after claiming its first SBC win of the season over Georgia Southern, 4-2. The team enters the Lonestar State, having defeated both teams in their last two meetings.

Down the Middle
The Trojans walked away from the opening round of the Peach State swing on Saturday with their third-straight loss to Georgia State, 4-2.

Troy lost three straight in singles to fumble the match despite claiming the lead, 1-0, winning doubles competition. Hagar Amin aimed to put Troy in rhythm, putting Troy back on the board, but it was too late as Kristina Kukaras lost match point.

It was a tale of two matches, as the Trojans flipped the script, starting Sunday down 0-1 before rattling off three victories in singles.

Amin finished the weekend 2-0, securing the first conference win of the season, 4-2, over the defending champions in Georgia Southern.

Battle with the Bobcats
Texas State enters Saturday on a three-match losing streak, including two against Sun Belt opponents in Coastal Carolina and Appalachian State.

After getting swept by App State, 4-0, the Bobcats look to Hana Kvapilova to lead them to their first conference win of the season, sitting atop the team standings at 8-5 in singles. Overall, the team sits a lowly 7-22 in doubles.

Mounting the Mavericks
UTA sits atop the SBC through the start of conference play at 3-0, riding a five-match winning streak - three against conference opponents.

Tara Gorinsek and Sarina Reinertsen enter the weekend undefeated in singles matches, combining for a 16-0 record. The Mavericks' weak link is doubles competition, despite still sitting above .500 at 14-10.
