LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville women's tennis team begins their season on Saturday, January 20, as the Cardinals host Eastern Kentucky at 2 p.m. inside the Bass-Rudd Tennis Center.

Louisville was originally scheduled to host a doubleheader against both Lipscomb and EKU, but the Bison are no longer able to travel due to weather.

The Cardinals just have one returnee this season, with sophomore Jamilah Snells looking to build off her first campaign at Louisville. Transfers Lillian Mould, a senior from Oregon, and Allie Gretkowski, a redshirt sophomore from South Carolina, are the other two veteran presences on this year's roster.

The Cards have five freshmen this year: Ibifuro Clement, Germany Davis, Berta Miret, Elena Noguero, and Lika Peresypkina, all slated to make their collegiate debuts on Saturday.
