The Florida Atlantic University women’s tennis team is set to compete in two matches this weekend, facing both Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) and the University of Miami. The first match will take place at home against FGCU on Friday, February 13, at the Kimberly V. Strauss Tennis Center in Boca Raton, with play beginning at noon. The following day, the team will travel to Coral Gables for a noon match against Miami.

In doubles play, Panna Bartha and Katrin Pavkova are unbeaten with a 4-0 record, while Malwina Rowinska and Smejkal are also undefeated at 3-0.
