‘Cats look to bounce back from 5-2 setback against No. 21 Vanderbilt last Sunday
EVANSTON, Ill. (January 25, 2023) – Following three straight contests at home, Northwestern women's tennis will hit the road for the first time in 2023 when it visits Charlottesville, Va. to compete in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's (ITA) Kickoff Weekend.
LAST TIME OUT
Northwestern dropped a 5-2 decision to No. 21 Vanderbilt last Sunday inside the Combe Tennis Center. Justine Leong and Christina Hand improved to a spotless 3-0 on the young season in doubles, cruising to a 6-3 decision.
In singles action, Briana Crowley and Kiley Rabjohns put points on the board for the 'Cats, each picking up wins in straight sets. Crowley dispatched Amy Stevens (6-4, 6-4), while Rabjohns turned away Dasha Kourkina (6-3, 6-3). Both members of the duo sport 3-0 records.
