STEPHENVILLE - The Tarleton women's tennis team will face Central Oklahoma on Wednesday, April 6 and Northeastern State Friday, April 8, with both matches coming on the road.

The TexAnns are 7-5 on the year and will be looking to push their record to 9-5 as the season comes down to the wire.  Tarleton only has three matches remaining on the year, finishing up their season against North Texas next Tuesday.

The first opponent of the week is Central Oklahoma, who is on a hot streak now winning three of their last four matches, including an upset of Cameron.  The Bronchos are an experienced group, who are well-coached and solid throughout the line-up.

Next, the TexAnns will face Northeastern Oklahoma in Sherman.  The RiverHawks were 9-1 before losing a couple of tough matches with Midwestern State and Cameron.  Northeastern continues to be one of the top teams in the conference on a consistent basis with a mixture of veterans and newcomers.

Head coach Lance Drake expects both teams to be ready to play.

"We will have to play well in all phases of the game in order to be competitive," said Drake.  "These matches are no different than our previous matches.  They will be mentally and physically demanding, but I am very proud of our ladies an the toughness they are showing.  We know where we are at the moment and there is work to be done.  These should be exciting matches."

Tarleton will face UCO in Denton at the campus of North Texas starting at 1 p.m. Tuesday, and will begin at 10 a.m. on Friday against Northeastern in Sherman on the campsu of Austin College.
