Women’s tennis to take on Richmond

The women’s tennis team will go up against Richmond tomorrow at noon at the University of Pennsylvania.

The match will be played at Penn because Legacy, the normal Temple home court, is not available. The Owls (1-4, 0-1 Atlantic 10 Conference) are looking for their first victory against Richmond (1-3, 0-0 A-10) since February 2008.

“Richmond will be a tough match,” coach Steve Mauro said. “We’ll do our best and hopefully we can come out on top.”

The Spiders will be led by sophomore Melissa Kandinata, who has played in the top singles flight in every match this year. She is 1-3 in those matches. Temple junior Yana Mavrina will likely be her opponent. She has also played in the top flight each time, and is 1-4.
