NORMAN, Okla. - The Oklahoma women's tennis team will head to Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Saturday, Feb. 24 to take on No. 60 Alabama.  The match will be played at the UA Varsity Courts and will begin at noon (CST). 

“We are very excited to get out there and play some more matches,” said head coach Mark Johnson.  “It is going to be a tough dual, but it will be good for us.” 

The Sooners are coming off of a 5-2 loss to No. 54 Tulsa on Feb. 13 in Tulsa.
