Cullowhee, N.C. – Western Carolina women’s tennis travels to Clemson Sunday for a 4 p.m. matchup at The Duckworth Family Tennis Facility.

The Catamounts’ last three matches versus Mercer on Feb. 7, Presbyterian on Feb. 9 and Radford on Feb. 12 have been postponed due to weather. Western Carolina are 0-3 entering Sunday’s match against the Tigers. The Catamounts continue to play short-handed as two of the team’s seven players are out due to injury.

Clemson enters Sunday’s match with a 7-2 record. The Tigers fell to South Carolina on Jan. 30 (1-6) and Georgia on Feb. 1 (0-7). The Tigers swept five of their nine matches earning perfect 7-0 wins in singles play.

Senior Jordan Strickland will look to extend her newly acquired program lead as she looks to build on her 38 singles’ wins. Strickland leads the Catamounts with a 2-1 singles’ record with Emily Elliot, Lauren McCall and Jacy Smith following with a 1-2 record.

The Catamounts will look to earn their first doubles win of the season against the Tigers.
