CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The College of Charleston women's tennis team will play its final home match of the season on Saturday, April 16 vs UNCW. First serve is set for noon at the CofC Tennis Center at Patriots Point. Fans can follow along with live scoring here.

With the home finale comes senior day, as the Cougars are set to honor four outstanding senior student-athletes. The four seniors set to be recognized are Kate Earnhardt, Clara Errard, Elizabeth Nowak, and Victoria Walter.

"Clara, Victoria, Lizzie and Kate have been great leaders both on and off the court," head coach Angelo Anastopoulo said. "Besides their incredible tennis talents, Kate is president of SAAC, Victoria is a member of the prestigious Schottland Scholars, Elizabeth is a top Biology student, and Clara works as an emergency responder for CofC EMS. They give so much much of their time both on and off the court and are just fun people to be around. I will miss each of the them but know they will visit often and will be big supporters of the program for life."
