MOSCOW, Idaho – The Idaho women's tennis team enters the heart of its conference schedule this week when they travel to face Weber State in Ogden on Friday at 8 a.m. PST.

Idaho (8-5, 2-1 BSC) is headed to Utah with a two-match win streak after a 4-3 win over Eastern Washington on the road last Saturday. After trailing 3-1, the Vandals won the final three singles matches to earn their second Big Sky victory of the season.

Idaho's court three pair features Lena Beckx and Rachelle Starreveld, who own the third most wins by a doubles duo in the Big Sky with a 9-3 record. 

Weber State (10-6, 2-1 BSC) is winners of four of their last five and holds a 4-0 record at home. The Wildcats are coming off a 2-1 road trip in California where they earned a 7-0 win over Jessup, a 3-4 loss to Sacramento State and a 4-3 win over Santa Clara. WSU is led by one of the top singles players in the Big Sky in Megan Davies, who is 13-2 overall and 8-2 on court one.
