2/28/2019 | Women's Tennis

OXFORD, Miss. –The Ole Miss Women's tennis team begins SEC play this week with a pair of road matches. The Rebels travel to Florida for 4 p.m. CT match Friday, and No. 10 South Carolina at noon Sunday in Columbia. 
 
Friday marks the first road test of the season for the Rebs, who have played all six of their spring dual matches at home. 
 
Live stats and video will be available following the links provided and follow the @OleMissWTennis Twitter account for in-match updates.

LAST TIME ON THE COURT
Ole Miss (3-3) will return to the action after having a three-match winning streak snapped to then-No. 21 UCF. Senior Tea Jandric recorded her third consecutive win in the defeat while fellow veteran Cameron Kriscunas improved to a perfect  5-0 this season. The junior from Hilton Head, S.C., is 3-0 in singles and 2-0 with teammate Alexa Bortles in doubles. 

SCOUTING THE GATORS
Florida (3-4) begins the SEC slate with a trio of sophomores all boasting Top 100 rankings in No. 12 Ida Jarlskog, No. 33 McCartney Kessler, and No. 52 Victoria Emma. Florida fell in the finals of the 2018 SEC tournament to eventual national runner-up Vanderbilt. 
 
The Gators have split their last four decisions, picking up wins against Oklahoma and North Florida but dropping contests to in-state foes Florida State and UCF, both Top 50 opponents. 
 
SCOUTING THE GAMECOCKS
The Gamecocks boast a 5-2 ledger on the season and are coming off facing three-straight Top 25 opponents, their most recent #9 Oklahoma State, a 4-1 victory. Carolina will host  Mississippi State before welcoming the Rebels.
 
The team includes three singles players and two doubles pairs ranked in the latest ITA release. Upperclassmen Ingrid Gamarra Martins (No. 10), Paige Cline (No. 38), and Mia Horvit (No. 95) boast plenty of experience, while on the doubles side, Gamarra Martins and Horvit showcase an impressive No. 2 ranking, while Rachel Rohrabacher and Megan Davies sit at No. 34.
 
UP NEXT
Ole Miss welcomes rival Mississippi State to Oxford on Sunday, March 10, beginning at 1 p.m. CT.
