Abilene, Texas - The Tiger women's tennis team fell 6-1 to the host Abilene Christian University Wildcats on the final day of the ACU Indoors on Saturday.

Trinity (2-1) opened its season on Friday, scoring a pair of victories in Abilene.  The team opened the ACU Indoors with a 5-2 victory over NCAA Division I member Prairie View A&M University, and concluded the day by blanking Division III opponent Hardin-Simmons University 9-0.

The only Tiger point against Abilene Christian, in transition from Division II to Division I, came at No. 6 singles as Nicole Rueb won her match by default. Kristy Hamilton and Blaire Porter took No. 3 doubles, also by default, as ACU won two of the three opening matches to corral the doubles point. Southwick and Lutz lost 6-2 on the No. 1 line, and Gabrielle Roe and Cheyenne Duncan fell 6-1 at No. 2.

The top five singles matches were all straight-sets wins for the Wildcats. Southwick, Lutz, Roe, Porter, and Caroline White made up the Tigers order of play.

With the opening weekend in the books, Trinity will play four away matches, with three against Division II members. First up will be the University of the Incarnate Word (Division II) on February 7 in San Antonio, followed by a trip to Austin, Texas, February 13, to meet St. Edward's University, ranked No. 32 in Division II. The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor of Division III hosts Trinity on February 14 in Belton, Texas. St. Mary's University, No. 16 in DII, plays host to the Tigers February 28 on its San Antonio campus.

The Butch Newman Tennis Center will be the site of Trinity's home opener March 1, as Trinity meets ninth-ranked Rollins College of Division II.
