ARLINGTON, Texas – UT Arlington women's tennis is back in action Saturday, hosting a doubleheader against the UT Dallas Comets and Lubbock Christian Chaparrals. The Mavericks kick the day off with their match against UT Dallas at 10 a.m. before their 2 p.m. bout against Lubbock Christian. 

Both matches will take place at the UTA Tennis Center.

UTA (0-3) is coming off a pair of losses to Big 12 teams. The Mavericks lost 7-0 to Arizona this past Saturday before falling to TCU 4-0 a day later.  UTA's efforts were highlighted by Vanja Cado battling hard against TCU's Cristina Ramos in singles play on Court 1.

Cado won six games against Ramos — the then-ITA-No. 103 ranked singles player in the country – before their match was left unfinished in the second set. 

In doubles play against Arizona, Natalia Gonzalez and Tasnime Ahamout dropped a hard-fought set to Arizona's Ciara Moore and Stephanie Shogreen. Gonzalez and Ahamout's bout against TCU was left unfinished.

The Mavericks swept UT Dallas 7-0 in both matches the two have ever played, the last of which came in 2024. UTA has never faced Lubbock Christian.

Scouting UT Dallas
The Comets first dual match of the spring is against Southern Arkansas on Friday afternoon. UT Dallas has a roster of eight players — four of which are freshman — and are coached by Bryan Whitt, who has coached the Comets men's and women's tennis teams since 2004.

Scouting Lubbock Christian
The Chaparrals enter Saturday with all four of their spring matches coming against Division I competition. Lubbock Christian most recently was swept 7-0 by McNeese State and lost 4-1 in both matches of a doubleheader against Lamar the day before. 

Andrea De Bernardo won the Chaparrals lone team point in both matches against Lamar. The junior won her singles tilt on Court 1 in the first match and another matchup on Court 2 in the final match. De Bernardo also competed on Court 1 against McNeese State and Court 2 against then-No. 2 Texas A&M, both of which were losses. FOLLOW ALONG
