The Ole Miss women’s tennis team will play host to Lipscomb and Memphis this weekend in its last matches before Southeastern Conference play opens. These matches will also be the first outdoor matches this year for the Rebels.
On Friday, the Rebels will face Lipscomb at noon and at 4 p.m. On Sunday, they will face the No. 32-ranked Memphis Tigers at noon. The Rebels are currently No. 34 in the rankings.
The Rebels last played on Feb. 1, a match in which they shut out the Jacksonville State Gamecocks. It was the team’s third shutout of the season.
Rebel head coach Mark Beyers is taking aim at his 150th win as the Rebels’ head coach, and 200th overall head coaching victory this weekend.
Lipscomb is 5-2 so far on the season. They last played against Austin Peay, winning 4-3. Their two losses this year have come at the hands of two other Tennessee schools, Tennessee-Chattanooga and Middle Tennessee State.
Memphis is led by 99th-ranked Stefanie Mikesz, who will look to challenge Caroline Rohde-Moe, who is ranked 87th nationally. The Rebels shut out the Tigers in their last meeting in 2009.
