Live Stats vs. UC Riverside

The LMU women's tennis team will open the home portion of its spring schedule on Thursday when the Lions welcome UC Riverside to the LMU Tennis Center at 1:30 p.m. The match will feature live stats which can be found on the tennis schedule of the LMULions.com website.

The Lions opened the 2015 spring season on Wednesday of last week, falling to #14 USC at the Manhattan Beach Country Club. Competing against the #14 team in the nation, which featured nationally-ranked players in each of the first five singles positions and a former top-20 player at #6 singles after returning from injury, LMU gave a quality effort. While the scores on the first two courts saw the Lions fall, 6-2, 6-4, and 6-3, 6-1, the matches proved a bit closer than at first glance. Playing under the ITA new dual match format, both sophomore Jessica Perez and junior Andrea Crespo saw tie-breaking points go the way of USC.

UC Riverside is coming off a loss of its own in the spring opener, as Nevada defeated the Highlanders, 7-0, at home.
