STARKVILLE, Miss. -- The 65th-ranked Mississippi State women's tennis team continues its six-match homestand Sunday, taking on No. 5 Florida at 1 p.m. at the A.J. Pitts Tennis Centre.
The Lady Bulldogs (4-6, 0-1 SEC) look to rebound against the Lady Gators (4-0, 1-0 SEC) after dropping a 5-1 decision to 25th-ranked South Carolina Friday afternoon.
State's lone win came from the No. 1 position, where senior Carole Soubis knocked off 85th-ranked Katarina Markovski 6-2, 6-3.
MSU has been paced in doubles action by sophomore Camila Sagae and freshman Magdolna Rekasi. The duo has won three of their last four matches during dual-match action.
Florida enters Sunday's contest fresh off a 6-1 win over 39th-ranked Mississippi Friday afternoon in Oxford. Florida has been guided by second-ranked Jessica Lehnhoff in singles and the seventh-rated tandem of Lehnhoff and Lindsay Dawaf in doubles play.
