CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami women’s tennis team has added a second match to its 2018 slate, head coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tews announced Thursday.

No. 17 Miami (1-1) will play FGCU in two days, hosting the Eagles Saturday at 11 a.m., at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center.

Previously, the Hurricanes added a neutral site match at the Eagles’ home courts, the FGCU Tennis Complex in Fort Myers, Fla., versus Georgia State Feb. 24 at 2 p.m.

Miami is 3-0 all-time against FGCU, outscoring the Eagles by a total margin of 19-2. All three matches were in Coral Gables, with the Hurricanes earning a 6-1 triumph on Feb. 20, 2015 in the most recent affair.

The Hurricanes will be competing for the first time in nearly two weeks, having not taken the court for a match since Jan. 28.

Miami features two nationally-ranked singles players in sophomore Estela Perez-Somarriba and senior Sinead Lohan, who place No. 16 and No. 58, respectively.

In doubles, Perez-Somarriba and junior Ana Madcur check in at No. 33 in the country, the first time either has been ranked on the doubles list.
