Fresh off of a strong 5-2 home win over IPFW, the University of Evansville women’s tennis team is set to open up Missouri Valley Conference play at Southern Illinois on Wednesday afternoon at 2 p.m.

Evansville played just one match this week, but Marketa Trousilova made the most out of it in leading the Purple Aces to a 5-2 win over IPFW. Trousilova and Marina Moreno improved to 7-0 when teamed up as they shut out the duo of Emily Richardson and Miloslava Shustova by an 8-0 final. In singles, Trousilova played at No. 1 against Mayu Sato. Sato entered the match at 13-1 in dual play, but Trousilova kept her hot stretch going, defeating Sato in three sets, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4.

Andjela Brguljan teamed up with Mina Milovic to earn an 8-7 doubles win over Carlota Trevino and Ella Norgren. Later, she topped Marcy Huck in two sets, 6-3, 6-3. The Aces took the doubles tally before winning four out of six singles matches to finish the day.

UE has enjoyed its time playing at home this spring. The Aces have won two out of three home matches, topping UT Martin in an indoor match in February before defeating IPFW on Saturday in their first outdoor home match this spring. Since the beginning of the 2009-10 campaign, the Purple Aces are an impressive 25-9 in home matches.
