Women's Tennis | April 2

DeKALB, Ill. – The Northern Illinois University women's tennis team completes its road schedule on Friday afternoon, taking on Miami for a 12 p.m. CT match.

A win on Friday would give NIU its first win against the RedHawks since 2021 and erase a four-match losing skid for the Huskies this season.

On Sunday, Irmak Budak / Jenna Horne clinched the doubles point against conference-leading UMass with a 6-2 win at No. 3 doubles. Isabella Righi / Lucia Yecora secured the doubles first win against UMass and have four straight matches.

Righi, who has 16 combined wins this dual season, has climbed to fifth all-time in program history in combined career wins with 129. Nataly Ninova currently sits second and needs two more wins to claim the top spot.

Miami (5-11, 2-3 MAC) is 2-2 in its last four outings, dropping matches to Buffalo and UMass. The RedHawks two conference wins have come against Bowling Green and Western Michigan. Maria Luisa Oliveira has won MAC Singles Player of the Week twice this season.
