TUCSON, Ariz. - The Arizona Women's Tennis team proved victorious over the Memphis Tigers Friday afternoon. The Cats swept doubles matches and won four out of the five singles matches. Emma Wilson, Marie Van Aelst, Camila Wesbrooks, and Talya Zandberg were the four individuals who prevailed in each of their matches. The girls had two hard fought doubles matches while the duo of Furak/Thomas were phenomenal as they pulled out a 6-0 win. 

The Wildcats continue their success at home as they open up the spring regular season with yet another win. Last season, the team won their first six home matches and will look to keep the hot hand before Saturday's doubleheader.
