HATTIESBURG, Miss. – The Southern Miss women's tennis team are in search of its first road win as they travel to Atlanta, GA., for two matches.
The Golden Eagles will face Kennesaw State on Friday at 1 p.m. for its fifth road match of the year. The Owls are 2-6 entering Friday's match after a 4-3 win over Detroit Wednesday afternoon.
Southern Miss traveled to Kennesaw last year and picked up a 4-0 win during their nine-match win streak. Friday's match will be the second all time meeting between the two teams.
Southern Miss will play Georgia State at 10 a.m on Saturday continuing its six-match road trip. The Panthers are 4-5 before facing the Golden Eagles and 1-2 at home. Saturday's match against the Panthers will be the first-ever match between the two sides.
Entering the pair of matches, Tjasa Jerse leads the Golden Eagles with an 8-2 singles record after recording the only point against South Alabama last weekend.
The Golden Eagles are on the road for three more matches before returning home for four matches.
