SAINT LOUIS, Mo. – Putting the finishing touches on a perfect individual weekend at 4-0 over a 48-hour stretch, junior Aziza Aubin highlighted a spirited effort for the University of Tennessee at Martin tennis squad throughout Saturday afternoon's neutral-court duel with the Chicago State Cougars.

In yet another tight finish, CSU eventually pulled out the 4-2 victory to drop UTM to 0-8 on the season. However, the Aubin/Amelia Campbell and Sina Albersmeier/Jule Streif tandems pulled the Cougars to the limit, winning back-to-back doubles sets by a combined score of 14-11.

Aubin and Campbell – who also emerged victorious in tag-team action against Saint Louis the previous evening – repeated that result over Katarina Dukic and Susana Andres in a thrilling 7-6 conclusion. Albersmeier and Streif solidified the Skyhawks' doubles triumph by picking up a 7-5 W over Cali Fuller and Katarina Drazic, the second straight day in which UT Martin took two out of the three bouts in two-on-two competition.

Albersmeier/Streif and Campbell/Aubin have now combined for six doubles victories in 2022, before Aubin would later grab her fourth singles win in the second half of the outing by defeating Lizi Morgoshia 6-3 and 6-4. The third-year brit has now won her last three singles matches as the Skyhawks continue to gain momentum in the latter half of non-conference play.

Senior Mizuki Sakurai nearly gave the navy and orange another one-on-one win against Andres, winning the opening rally 7-6 and leading the second by a 3-2 clip before the match as a whole was clinched by Chicago State elsewhere at the Gateway City venue.

Following Aubin's 4-0 progression over the Billikens and the Cougars, UTM can now look forward to a pair of home appearances for the first time this semester next weekend. The Missouri State Bears will meet the Skyhawks on Friday, March 4^th at 5:00 p.m. under the lights, before the Chattanooga Mocs follow suit two days later at 1:00 p.m. in a Sunday matinee back in Tennessee.
