Cats set to face Eagles on Friday, Bulldogs on Saturday
BOZEMAN, Mont. --- The Montana State women's tennis team heads back on the road this weekend for a pair of matches in the state of Washington, facing Eastern Washington at the Jim Thorpe Fieldhouse in Cheney on Friday and Gonzaga at the Stevens Center in Spokane on Saturday.
Â
Both matches are set to begin at 11 a.m. MT on their respective days. Saturday's match against Gonzaga will be live streamed here, and live stats will be available here.
Â
"We're back on the road for two more great opportunities," Montana State head coach Hailey Barrett said. "Eastern Washington is another tough conference opponent, and then we'll continue our strong non-conference schedule with Gonzaga. We're excited to build on the positives from last weekend."
Â
Montana State faced Big Sky foe Sacramento State in the Bobcats' home opener on Sunday, winning the doubles point and playing two super tiebreak matches in singles in a 5-2 loss to the Hornets. Lola Bean posted an impressive 6-4, 6-7 (4), 10-3 victory over Emilija Pranyte at No. 5 singles to highlight the Bobcats' day, while Angel Bean came within points of victory in a tight 6-7 (5), 7-6 (1), 12-10 loss to Irene Riva. In doubles, Terezie Stverakova and Anna Wise earned a 6-3 win from the No. 1 slot, and Angel Bean and Nia Gelashvili posted a 6-2 victory from court two.Â
Â
The Bobcats will seek their first Big Sky win of the season when they face the Eagles on Friday. Eastern Washington is off to a 6-4 start, with Friday marking the Eagles' Big Sky opener. The Eagles won five-straight matches to open the month of February before falling to Boise State, 4-0, in a neutral-site match in Spokane on Feb. 28. The Bobcats are historically strong against Eastern Washington, holding a 41-5 all-time record against the Eagles.
Â
Montana State and Gonzaga hold an equal 9-9 record against each other since the 1999-2000 season, with Saturday's match serving as the tiebreaker. The Bobcats won their most recent match over the Bulldogs, 4-2, in Spokane in 2024. Gonzaga enters the weekend with a 5-6 record and will look to snap a four-match losing streak when it faces the Bobcats on Saturday.
Â
Following this weekend's matches, the Bobcats back to the Pacific Northwest for a trio of matches against Portland State on March 15 (4 p.m. MT), Portland on March 17 (11 a.m. MT), and Seattle U on March 19 (10 a.m.)
