W. Tennis to Face Georgia State in Fort Myers

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami women’s tennis team resumes play Saturday afternoon with its second match of the season at a neutral site.

Miami (2-3) is set to square off with Georgia State at 2 p.m., at the FGCU Tennis Complex in Fort Myers, Fla.

Saturday’s contest at FGCU will be the first meeting between the Hurricanes and Panthers.

Miami enters the match with a trio of nationally-ranked singles players. Sophomore Estela Perez-Somarriba leads the way at No. 23 and is followed by junior Ana Madcur at No. 114 and senior Sinead Lohan at No. 116.

In doubles, Perez-Somarriba and Madcur join together to form the No. 33 pair on the Oracle/ITA list.
