LAST TIME OUT
The Cougars dropped their first match of the 2022 season with a 4-1 loss to the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers on Saturday afternoon, After narrowly dropping the doubles point, SIUE's lone singles win came with Nicole Gomez's straight-set victory on the No. 6 court. The match was played until clinch, leaving two singles fixtures unfinished.

BEST IN CLASS
SIUE's potent doubles play was recognized as the best in the OVC for two consecutive weeks to start the season, as Caitlyn Sporing and Melissa Vizcardo's impressive efforts garnered the duo's first OVC Doubles Team of the Week honors for the week of February 21. This award followed the announcement, which saw Vanessa Reinicke and Jordan Schifano earn Doubles Team of the Week the week prior. The Cougars' Jill Lambrechts also earned the Singles Player of the Week award for the week of February 21 - Lambrechts who has put together a seven-match winning streak in No. 2 singles, earned SIUE's first singles honor of the 2022 campaign.
