The Rice Athletic Director is in Baton Rouge for the match.

Wonder why he's not in Birmingham? He hired the baseball coach, not the tennis coach.

Owls are down 2-0 in the first sets on #2 & #6.

But Anastasia Smirnova breaks to go up 2-0 on #5!

Why the snark, WRC? Maybe he'll watch this morning's tennis match and then continue on to Birmingham to check out the baseball action?

(It's about a 6-hour drive, so if he leaves as soon as it's over, he might miss only a couple of innings of tonight's game. Or, if he hosts some evant/activity for the tennis team tonight, then he could be in B'ham Saturday for the final three games of the baseball series.)
