KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Western Michigan women's tennis team returns home for the first time since Feb. 16 to host Bowling Green on Friday at 1 p.m. before heading Northern Illinois for a match on Sunday.
 
Friday's match will be played indoors at West Hills Athletic club. Admission is free.
 
ROAD WEARY
After defeating Oakland, 6-1, back on Feb. 16, Western Michigan went on a six-game road trip. The Broncos started off the trip 3-0 with wins at Youngstown State, Cleveland State and St. Bonaventure (at CSU). WMU then headed west to Arizona for Spring Break, dropping a pair of matches at University of Arizona. The Broncos fell to the Wildcats and then dropped a contest against Nevada, at UA.
 
Western Michigan then opened MAC play at Toledo, falling to the Rockets 7-0. WMU plays two of its next three matches at home, welcoming Ball State next weekend for a 10 a.m. match.
 
DYNAMIC DUO
Seniors Lindsey Zieglar and Valeriya Monko have been quite the doubles team throughout their careers together. Currently, WMU's top pair is 10-3 overall in dual matches this season. When Monko transferred in last season, the two quickly developed chemistry and solidified the No. 1 doubles spot. The duo went 15-5 in dual matches and 5-3 in MAC play.
 
ON THE HORIZON
WMU hosts Ball State next Friday at 10 a.m.
