The Wright State women's tennis team fell against the Xavier Musketeers in their second matchup of the day. After dropping one against Bowling Green in the morning, the Raiders returned to the courts to face Xavier. The 2-5 loss against the Musketeers moves the Raiders to 3-7 on the season.

The Raiders began the matchup by dropping the doubles points. Wright State was only able to two pull into singles wins against Xavier on Saturday night. Andreea Craciun defeated Emily Thomas in extra sets. After dropping her first set against Thomas, Craciun was able to rally in the second and won the match in a marathon third set. Madison Riley earned the second team point of the day for the Raiders with her 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 win against Rachael Reichenbach.
