QUOTABLE
- "We've got a very difficult opponent in Lipscomb. This is my seventh year, and I think this is one of their best teams they've had in the seven years I've been here. We're hoping to get a big crowd on Sunday. This is going to be a really tough opponent. They're extremely well coached and they're very, very deep this year. They go seven to eight deep, so we're going to have our hands full this Sunday with Lipscomb, no doubt about it." – WKU Women's Tennis Head Coach Greg Davis, on facing Lipscomb on Sunday.
