About the Warhawks
The Warhawks (7-11, 5-3 GSC) have been on a tear through the back half of their GSC schedule. Women's tennis has won three of their past five matches against teams within their conference, netting two shutouts in that span.

Sofia Navarro has been nothing short of sensational over her last ten matches. The Spain native is 7-2 in her last ten, including winning six-consecutive singles matches. She has played in two different slots for AUM this season, but the majority of her damage has come in the third slot, going 8-3 in those matches.

Tonja Foessmeier continues to lead the Warhawks in wins in singles play this season. She has seen time in three different positions for AUM, netting wins in the first, second and third positions. With a winning record in the first and third slot, Foessmeier has an 11-5 record overall.

Alba De la Torre and Sofia Mustre have been the Warhawks best doubles pairing in 2019. The two have an 11-5 record in 2019, including an impressive 6-1 mark when playing within the conference.

About the Lady Statesmen
Delta State (5-14, 2-6 GSC) will face AUM after losing their previous match to GSC opponent Valdosta State. The Lady Statesmen sit in ninth place in the conference standings and have lost two of three overall to GSC foes.  

Fabiola Cardenas leads the Lady Statesmen with nine wins in the first position and has a 2-7 record in her last nine matches. However, in doubles play, her and teammate Nathalia Sato have combined for a 11-5 record in doubles play.

About the Tigers
West Alabama (13-4, 8-0 GSC) has been stellar all season long. They currently sit #13 in the country and are undefeated in GSC play and sit first in the conference, two games ahead of West Florida for the No. 1 seed.

West Alabama's presence in the national polls does not stop with the team's ranking as Sarah Manseri currently holds the #51 rank for singles play. In 2019, Manseri has a 12-4 record and has dropped just one conference match.

Doubles competition has been a struggle for West Alabama, however, despite the team's struggles on the season, Andrea Tomassone and Georgina Morrall Salom are #23 in the country as a duo with a 9-5 record.
