TALLAHASSEE, Florida – No. 18 Texas A&M women's tennis hits the road for a top-25 matchup against No. 23 Miami (FL). First serve from the Scott Speicher Tennis Center is set for 1 p.m. (CT) on Saturday.
"This is a very exciting opportunity for our team to get some tough matches in against elite competition," Texas A&M head coach Mark Weaver said. "It's a great chance for us to show what we've been working on in practice over the last week. Playing during ITA Kickoff Weekend is something that every program aspires to do, and we're looking forward to competing against some of the best in the country."

The regional final is set for Sunday at 1 p.m. (CT) while the consolation match is scheduled for 10 a.m. (CT).
The Aggies (3-0) head into their first ranked matchup of the season following a pair of home victories against Houston (0-1) and Sam Houston State (0-1) in College Station. A&M won all three doubles matches against Houston and followed their early success with five singles victories.
