Highland Heights, Ky. – Northern Kentucky women's tennis will head to Cincinnati to take on cross-river opponent Xavier on Friday, February 12. First serve is set for 1 p.m. at Eastern Hills Indoor Tennis Club. 
 
The Norse picked up their first win (4-1) of the season versus Western Kentucky on Feb. 6, after its original first match against Thomas More was postponed due to TMU's COVID-19 protocols. Maria Koo clinched the win in her 6-2, 7-6 two-set No. 2 singles match. The No. 5 and No. 6 matches were abandoned due to the team's dominant takeover in singles.  
 
The Musketeers are 2-0 so far this season, beating UIC, 5-2, and Eastern Michigan, 7-0. Before the season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Xavier was 5-9 overall, with a 2-2 record at home and 2-6 on the road.  
 
The last meetup between the two teams was on Jan. 31 2020. The Norse fell short to the Musketeers 6-1.
