The Murray State Racers women’s tennis team is set to play against Jacksonville State in Alabama on Saturday, March 7, at 11:00 AM. The Racers are seeking to end a four-match losing streak after a close 4–3 defeat to Samford in their previous outing.
Sophomore Yu Kikawa has been a key player for Murray State this spring, posting a combined singles and doubles record of 7–2. Her performance has provided stability for the team during a challenging stretch.
Jacksonville State enters the match with a 7–4 record and has won four of its last five contests. Senior Irene Artigas has led the Gamecocks in singles with a 7–1 record, while senior Polina Ramenskaja leads the doubles squad with seven wins this season.
Murray State holds an overall advantage in the all-time series against Jacksonville State, leading 15–5 since 1985. However, recent matches have been closely contested; the Racers won both the 2024 and 2025 meetings by narrow 4–3 margins.
