A week away from the 2010 University Athletic Association (UAA) Tournament, the fourth-ranked Emory University women’s tennis team will play at Berry College on Saturday and host Division I Mercer College on Monday.

The Eagles, ranked fourth in Division III, will return to action after a nearly two-week break.  The Eagles stand at 14-4 on the season, including marks of 4-1 at home, and 3-1 in true road matches.

Berry College, which is currently transitioning to Division III from the NAIA, is 13-0 this season, including a 3-0 mark in home matches.  Emory is 11-2 all time against Berry, including a 6-3 win in the last meeting between the two teams on April 11^th, 2007 at the Woodruff P.E. Center.

Mercer, a Division I school which plays out of the Atlantic Sun Conference, is currently 7-9 this season and will play two more matches before facing the Eagles at 3:00 PM on Monday.  The Bears are 1-7 in road matches this year.  The Eagles are 4-3 all time against Mercer, but suffered a 5-2 loss in the last meeting on March 20^th, 2008. 

Monday’s match will also be ‘Senior Day’ for the Eagles, as Emory will honor its three graduating senior players, Tshema Nash, Sabra Rogers and Sara Vrabec.  All three have earned all-America honors during their careers, and have helped the Eagles to a third-place finish at the NCAA Tournament last season, three total NCAA Tournament appearances and UAA Championships, and an overall record of 66-28.
