TROY, AL – Georgia State Women's Tennis faced off against Sun Belt opponent Texas State on Saturday in the first of a pair of conference matchups played at Troy University. The Panthers collected a point from Maria Paredes in singles play but could not put any more on the board, as they fell to the Bobcats by a score of 4-1.

Sveva Bernardi and Sara Radojevic found themselves in a battle on doubles court two, but their efforts would ultimately be futile as the game was abandoned at 5-5 when the Bobcats secured wins on courts one and three.

Paredes made quick work of her top line opponent in singles play, winning in straight sets with scores of 6-2 and 6-0. Radojevic and Lamiss Hoauas contributed set victories of their own, but did not have the chance to wrap up their decisive third sets as Texas State won in straight sets on court three and won by retirment on courts five and six.

The Panthers will remain in Troy and seek to knock off the Trojans when they face off at 11 a.m. on Sunday morning.
