A&M-Corpus Christi Preps for Matches against ACU & Rice

SAN ANTONIO – The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi tennis programs will be in action this week when the women face Abilene Christian at 11 a.m. Monday in a neutral court match, followed by both the men and women at Rice at 2 p.m. Wednesday.
 
The women will put their undefeated 10-0 record on the line against former SLC opponent ACU in San Antonio. The Wildcats have wins this year over UTSA, Oral Roberts and New Mexico.
 
The women are 49-4 (.925) as a team in singles. It includes junior Emma Aucagne who is 7-0 at No. 1, senior Victoire Delattre who is 8-0 in the middle of the lineup and junior Kateryna Rublevska who is 8-0 primarily at No. 6.
 
A&M-Corpus Christi is off to its best start since its undefeated regular season in 2015-16.
 
The men will look to bounce back Wednesday after a hard fought 4-3 defeat at Illinois-Chicago on Friday. SLC Player of the Week Nathan Schwartz continued his winning ways with a straight-set win and has now consecutively beaten UT Arlington, BYU, UTRGV and UIC.
 
It will be a tough test for the men as Rice defeated No. 68 New Mexico last week. The Owls also have wins over USF,  Denver, Elon, Lamar, Portland and Samford.
 
The men and women will be going for their first-ever wins over Rice in program history.
