COLUMBIA, S.C. – The 19th-ranked South Carolina women’s tennis team plays their final regular season match of the year Saturday at 1:00 p.m. when they host 2nd-ranked Florida in SEC action at the Maxcy Gregg Tennis Center on the USC campus.

Fans should note the change in date and time from the original schedule. The match was first set for Friday, April 12.

The first 100 fans through the gate Saturday afternoon will receive a free Carolina Rally Rag.

USC sends off four seniors Saturday in their final home regular season match. Katarina Markovski, Jennifer Radman, Tamara Sutton and Lynn-Yin Tan have combined to amass nearly 640 singles and doubles wins in their stellar four-year careers. Three of the four are in the USC top seven in all-time singles wins, Markovski recorded the highest ever individual ranking (13th) in program history and the class will go out as just the second ever to go to the NCAA Tournament each of their four seasons.

With a win, Carolina (14-5, 7-3 SEC) would clinch a fourth-place SEC finish and a first round bye at the SEC Women’s Tennis Tournament April 18-21 in Columbia.

Florida is 15-1 overall and 9-1 in the SEC. The Gators lost their last match, a 4-3
