GREENSBORO, N.C. – The UNC Greensboro (UNCG) women's tennis team concludes a three-match road trip by traveling to Radford for a 2:00 p.m. match on Thursday. The match will be played at the Radford Tennis Complex.
 
Last weekend at South Carolina, Erika Barquero had the experience of a lifetime as she competed against the No. 1 ranked player in the country. Not often, a student-athlete can make that claim that they competed against one of the top players. Barquero held her own and made her opponent work for the victory.
 
Quotable

I look forward to starting conference on Saturday. We are ready to compete and give it all against Radford."
