HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS - It was a battle of the 2-2 teams and Memphis came up short, 7-0, at Sam Houston State, Friday.

Battling the weather, the matches were played around rain showers, playing singles first so the match would at least be decided if the rains came.

Memphis senior Kristin Noble was the lone Lady Tiger to go three sets, splitting a pair of 6-4 sets before falling 6-2 in the third, meaning the Lady Tigers did not score a point in the match.

The Lady Tigers open league play Saturday at Houston at 10:30 before taking a week break in play before facing Southern Miss in Hattiesburg, Mar. 3rd.
