SAN MARCOS, Texas – The Texas State women's tennis team looks to win its second straight match and third match in the last four outings when the Bobcats host Central Arkansas at the Bobcat Tennis Complex on Tuesday, March 22, at 2 p.m.
 
Texas State overcame a 3-1 deficit to win a 4-3 decision against UTEP last Friday after splitting a pair of matches in Las Vegas the previous weekend with a victory against Southern Utah and a loss at UNLV on March 5 and 6. The Bobcats were scheduled to play at UTSA on March 11, but that match was postponed until March 30 in San Antonio.  
 
The win over UTEP improves Texas State's overall record to 5-8 this season and evened its home record to 1-1. It was the first home match for the Bobcats since January 23.
 
SERIES HISTORY
The Bobcats have won each of their previous six meetings against Central Arkansas in a series that dates back to April 1, 2007. Tuesday's match marks the first meeting between the two schools since March 11, 2012 and the first time that the two schools will play a non-conference match against each other.
