Saints Make Second Appearance on the National Stage in Program History

For just the second time in program history, the Siena Women's Tennis team will play in an NCAA Tournament match on Friday afternoon.

The Saints (7-3) enter the match on a five-match winning streak. This match will mark their second tournament appearance in program history, with the other coming back in 2006. That season, the Saints would fall 4-0 to the #15 Clemson Tigers. The Saints are looking to be the first MAAC school to record a point in the NCAA Tournament.
 
Siena earned the MAAC's automatic bid thanks to a 4-1 victory over the Quinnipiac Bobcats in the MAAC Championship on Apr. 25 in Princeton, New Jersey at the Mercer County Park Tennis Complex. Junior Meagan Brown would win Tournament MVP, as she would go a perfect 2-0 for the second straight day with wins in both doubles and singles play.
 
The University of Florida women's tennis team (12-7, 10-3) has earned a spot in the NCAA Tennis Championships with an at-large bid, marking their 38th NCAA Tournament appearance in program history. Florida, which finished the regular season on a seven-match winning streak, registered a 10-3 mark in conference play and a second-place finish in the competitive cauldron that is the SEC. The Gators, who have battled 13-straight ranked opponents, have been a strong singles team all year long with a 56-31 overall record in dual match action.
 
The winner of the match will take on the winner of the matchup between USC and Oklahoma, who compete alongside the Gators and Saints in the Gainesville regional. The second round match is slated for Saturday, May 8 at 4 p.m. at the Alfred A. Ring Tennis Complex.
