PEORIA, Ill. - Bradley Tennis faces the Belmont Bruins in their regular season finale on Saturday at 11:00 a.m.

BRADLEY vs BELMONT
Where: Markin Tennis Courts - Peoria, IL
When: Saturday, April 19 - 11:00 a.m.

PREVIEWING THE BRUINS
The Bruins struggled in the first part of the season, posting a 1-11 record before the conference season began. However, they have turned things around, winning their first three conference matchups before dropping their next two. In their last match against the Missouri State Bears, Belmont won 5-2 in Springfield to improve their conference record to 4-2.

LAST TIME OUT
The Braves split their last weekend, dropping their first match of the weekend to UIC but bouncing back to defeat the Valparaiso Beacons on Sunday. Mariia Pukhina went 1-1 on the weekend to improve her conference record to 6-1 and Ruby Tseng went 2-0 in her singles matches. Anna Belogliadova & Madi Rogers went 2-0 in their doubles matches and were honored with winning MVC Doubles of the Week honors.

SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THERE'S A CHANCE...
Entering the final weekend of the regular season, Bradley has a chance to finish in the top six in the conference standings. With a victory over Belmont on Saturday, plus Missouri State losses to UNI and Drake this weekend, Bradley (would finish 3-5 in MVC play) would finish ahead of Missouri State (would finish 2-6 in MVC play), finish sixth, and travel to Valparaiso, Ind., for the MVC Tournament on April 25-27.
