BEARS READY FOR IN-STATE ROAD DOUBLEHEADER

CONWAY, Ark. - After a tough doubleheader in Columbia, Mo., the Central Arkansas tennis program will get a chance to get back on track as they battle Ouachita Baptist on the road. 

The Bears will not have just one chance to sway their fortune as they are set for an in-state doubleheader against the Division II Tigers squad Saturday in Arkadelphia, Ark.

Ouachita enters into the fray with a 2-6 record overall, with none of those matchups against Division I foes. This should be a good opportunity for the Bears to get back on track, as they are ready for the indoor challenge. All-time, the Bears are 2-0 against the Tigers as they bested them back in back-to-back in 2005 and 2006. These wins were blowouts as they have a combined 13-2 point differential against this squad. This should be no different as UCA enters the matchup with some of its best competitors. A couple of players to watch are junior Fuka Nonoyama, senior Yada Vasupongchai and freshman Sumomo Hamanaga. These three have been key competitors in the last few matches as they mostly hover around the No. 2-4 spot. Overall those three should have a good day, as they have been picking up multiple quality wins as of recently. The most notable of those wins came from No. 4 Hamanaga, who took the lone singles match from the University of Missouri. 

This doubleheader starts tomorrow in Arkadelphia at the Ouachita in-door courts, as it was moved from the UCA Tennis Courts due to weather issues. The first match will begin at 10 a.m. with the second match scheduled for 2 p.m.
