THE STORY
• The Bloomsburg University women's tennis team returns to the Burt Reese Tennis Center on Wednesday afternoon when they host East Stroudsburg University in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) matchup. The Huskies are coming off a successful road trip, claiming a pair of shutout victories at Virginia State and Shepherd University over the weekend.

THE HUSKIES AT A GLANCE
• The Huskies enter Wednesday's matchup with a 10-2 overall record after a pair of non-conference victories over Virginia State and Shepherd this past weekend. Bloomsburg blanked Virginia State 7-0 on Saturday, before traveling to West Virginia to defeat Shepherd 4-0 on Sunday. Taylor Capoferri (Lancaster, Pa./Lampeter-Strasburg) and Cassidy Calimer (Egg Harbor City, N.J./Absegami) each went 2-0 in singles competition on the weekend, while Calimer and Vitoria Nery (Sao Paulo, Brazil/Educandário Santa Maria Goretti) were 2-0 in doubles action. Nery was the lone winner in the Huskies 6-1 loss to West Chester last Thursday, which dropped Bloomsburg to 1-1 in the PSAC on the year.

• Senior Cassie Wentz (Windber, Pa./Winber Area) is 9-3 overall in singles action this season, while Capoferri and sophomore Giovanna Bonito (Sao Paulo, Brazil/Colegio Reino) have also notched nine singles victories on the year. Nery has an 8-3 record in singles action and has been on fire lately, winning her last three singles matches. In doubles, Calimer and Nery have teamed for a 10-4 record while Bonito and Capoferri have gone 9-5 overall. Senior Siena Cerra (Levittown, Pa./Neshaminy) has eight wins in doubles action and has partnered with both Wentz and sophomore Isabella Sarquis (Belo Horizonte, Brazil/Metodo).
