MEMPHIS, Tenn. (Jan. 30, 2022) – The University of South Florida women's tennis team closed out a four-match, road swing to open the season with a 6-1 loss to Memphis Sunday at the Eldon Roark Tennis Center in Memphis, Tenn.
After opening the 2022 campaign with a 1-1 record in two road matches last week, the Bulls fell to Xavier and Memphis this weekend in Memphis to fall to 1-3 on the year while the Tigers improved to 5-1.
Memphis took the doubles point, winning the three matches by scores of 6-3, 6-4 and 6-3, respectively.
The Bulls match win on Sunday came from junior
Laura Pellicer (Gandia, Spain) in No. 3 singles as she dropped Alisha Reayer of Memphis, posting a dominating first set win, 6-0, before closing out the victory with a 6-4 second set win.
Freshman
Sierra Berry (Frisco, Texas) competed at No. 1 singles for the Bulls and fell, 6-2, 6-4, to Aran Teixido Garcia.
Grace Schumacher (Bathurst, Australia) fell after a good fight at No. 2 singles, losing the first set 7-5 and dropping the second 6-4. Memphis won dominating first sets at No. 4 and 5 singles before going on to close those out. At No. 6 singles, senior

The Bulls open the 2022 home portion of their schedule on Friday, Feb. 4 when North Florida visits USF's Varsity Tennis Courts. That match will begin an eight-match homestand for South Florida.
Quotable – Head Coach Cristina Moros
"While I think we are playing great tennis, we are having a hard time closing out leads we are getting in games and sets. We lost a close doubles point and I feel like that made the singles a long uphill battle. We are looking forward to playing outside again and can get in a nice rhythm this next month."
