THE FLATS – Georgia Tech women’s tennis gears up for a pair of non-conference matches this weekend with one on the road at Charlotte and a home contest against Penn State.

The Yellow Jackets (7-7, 3-3 ACC) look for their first road win of the spring Friday against the 49ers (12-3, 3-0 American) – the team’s first road match in 27 days. Against the Nittany Lions (10-4, 1-4 Big Ten), Tech looks to add to a 7-3 home record where it has won three of the last four.

Tech is led by ITA’s No. 66 singles competitor Alejandra Cruz. Cruz has a 7-4 dual record this season and is part of the 77th-ranked duo with Seri Nayuki. In doubles action, Taly Licht and Sabritt Dozier hold a 4-2 record with wins in each of their last two including a win over Virginia’s 27th-ranked doubles team. Eleni Karantali and Given Roach have an impressive 9-5 doubles mark this spring with wins in each of their last four.

The 49ers enter Friday on a seven-match winning streak and a perfect 5-0 record on home court. 34th-ranked Charlotte captured wins over Tulane (4-1) and No. 56 Rice (4-1) last weekend in New Orleans. This meeting will mark just the second in program history and first since a Jackets victory on April 10, 1994.

The Nittany Lions roll onto The Flats Sunday trying to break a three-game losing skid. Last time out, Penn State lost a pair of conference matches to No. 12 USC (4-0) and No. 8 UCLA (4-0). PSU is 9-0 in non-conference games this season but 1-2 away from home court. Sunday marks the first-ever meeting between Tech and Penn State in program history.
