Quoting Foley
"Having finished with some decent performances in our first fall tournament at USC Upstate two weeks ago, we are looking for the girls to continue to lay it on the line and raise the bar every time they step out on the court," assistant head coach Miranda Foley said. "During this time of the year it is all about getting in as much match practice as we can. It is always a great opportunity when we have the chance to compete against other teams. We can try and simulate the match environment as much as we like in our daily team practices but there is nothing like the real thing to best prepare you. I'm excited for what this weekend holds in store for us."
 
The Last Time Out
The Owls opened their 2015 fall schedule at the USC Upstate Fall Classic in Spartanburg, S.C., Sept. 18-20. Highlighting the three-day tournament was the double's tandem of Laura Dean and Laura Hopton. The duo advanced to the championship match of Doubles Draw B before falling 6-2 to Armstrong Atlantic's Lena Lutzeier and Diana Stomlega.
 
Dean and Hopton opened the draw with a first-round 7-5 win over UNC Asheville's Lauren Brooker and Hunter Hall before posting a 6-4 victory over Gardner-Webb's Sarah Rieckmann and Sandra Bolstad.
 
In singles, play Alexandra Mercado, Cristina Martin, Hopton, Ashleigh De Wet, Gabrielle Robinson and Gabriela Bueno recorded wins during the three days.
