CHAMPIONSHIP CENTRAL | LIVE STATS
KENNESAW, Ga. – The Kennesaw State women’s tennis team is set to begin the 2013 Atlantic Sun Conference Women’s Tennis Championships on Friday, April 19 as the No. 6 seed in the tournament. The Owls will face No. 3 seed USC Upstate at the Bristol Racquet Club in Bristol, Tenn., at 11:30 p.m. (ET).
The event was originally scheduled to be held at the ETSU Tennis Center on the campus of East Tennessee State in Johnson City, Tenn., but a forecast of rain showers forced the location to be changed.
Kennesaw State defeated the Spartans in the teams’ lone match this season, posting a 4-3 win in the final weekend of the regular season a week ago on Friday, April 13 at the Fair Oaks Tennis Center in Marietta, Ga. Sophomore
Virginie Stein clinched the victory for the Owls with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 win over Isabel von Stryk at No. 1 singles.
