SAN MARCOS, TEXAS – Texas State women's tennis continues conference play with a pair of road matches against nationally-ranked No. 68 Old Dominion on Saturday and James Madison on Sunday. Both matches will begin at 10 a.m. and the match versus JMU will be played on their indoor court due to weather concerns. 
 
This will be the Bobcats' first matchup of the year against a nationally ranked opponent.
 
The Bobcats' (8-2, 2-0 Sun Belt) winning streak grew to eight for the first time since 2012 after earning their first win over Coastal Carolina in program history. Texas State defeated Coastal 4-3 in a match that came down to the last set of singles. 
 
Sofia Fortuno secured the match point for the Bobcats in a match that came down to the third set. Fortuno dropped the first set 6-4 but battled back to win the last two sets 7-6 (7-5) and 6-3.
 
Andrea Pineda recorded her eighth win in a row on Saturday and moved to 8-1 on the year and 2-0 in conference on court five. 
 
Old Dominion 
Old Dominion (6-5) carries a 2-0 conference record heading into the matchup against Texas State. The Monarchs have also recorded a ranked win over #47 VCU and three wins over "Power 5" programs this season. 
 
The Monarchs are led by Sofia Johnson, who has a 7-1 record on court one this year. Johnson has won her last five singles matches on court one and was named first team all-conference last season as a sophomore. 
 
This will be the third matchup between the two schools and Old Dominion holds a 2-0 series lead. The Monarchs and Bobcats faced off twice last year, once in the regular season and once in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament.
