ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – The University of Central Arkansas tennis program picked up a nice win over an upperclassmen-laden team in Ouachita Baptist on Friday afternoon.
After a change of plans due to the rain, UCA postponed its match with Oral Roberts and instead of hosting Ouachita Baptist, they headed 90 miles up the road to Arkadelphia to play in the Tigers' indoor courts.
UCA enjoyed a win in each match they competed in, save for one singles match where the Bears could not field a player. UCA got key victories from Ting-An Chen, Konomi Miyakawa, and Nicole Ross. The Pairing of Ross and Jaeun Lee cruised to a 6-0 decision in their doubles match.
