HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Southern Miss women's tennis (7-6, 1-1 SBC) returns to Sun Belt play on Saturday with a road match at Troy (8-6, 3-1 SBC). First serve is set for 10 a.m. in Troy, Ala.
The Golden Eagles head into the weekend looking to bounce back after a busy four-match road stretch. Southern Miss closed that swing with a 4-0 win over Southern in Baton Rouge, getting doubles victories from Angelina Blinova and Sakura Sudo on court one and Hannah Chambers and Miranda Xu on court two before adding straight-set singles wins from Blinova, Kamornwan Kornsila and Mia Hisashi-Morrissey.
That result kept Southern Miss right in the middle of the Sun Belt race entering the final stretch of the regular season. The Golden Eagles sit at 1-1 in league play, while Troy enters Saturday at 3-1 in conference action and on a four-match winning streak.
Southern Miss will look to lean on the same lineup that has delivered big moments throughout the spring. Sudo recently became the first Sun Belt Women's Tennis Player of the Week honoree in program history after clinching both the doubles point and the overall match in the Golden Eagles' 4-3 home win over Georgia Southern earlier this month.
Saturday's match also opens an important closing stretch for the Golden Eagles. After the trip to Troy, Southern Miss returns home for matches against New Orleans on April 1 and Tulane on April 7.
