Murray State University's women's tennis team fell to Middle Tennessee State University, 5-2, on Saturday in Murfreesboro, Tenn. The Racers had just five players available and were therefore lost the number six singles and number three doubles matches by default. MSU falls to 3-5 on the season while Middle Tennessee improves to 6-6.

Murray State picked up singles wins from Anna Lask and Casady Pruitt. Lask defeated Marlene Chemin at number one singles, 6-3 and 6-1. Pruitt downed Elvira Yusupova, 6-4 and 6-1, at number three singles.

The Racers will open Ohio Valley Conference play on Wednesday when they play Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, Mo. The match is scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m.
