The Panthers ride a two-match win streak entering this week's matchups, most recently coming off a top-40 clinch-clinch win over No. 36 Maryland last Saturday.
 
FIU's gotten off to great starts having won the doubles point for the last four straight matches, paced by its No. 2 duo of Yasmine Kabbaj and Oyinlomo Quadre on a six-match win streak at 7-2 overall. Salma Loudili and Katerina Mandelikova follow at 5-2 from the No. 3 position after tallying a top-50 win against the Terrapins on Saturday.
 
Additionally, FIU remains undefeated against nationally ranked pairs in doubles this season (3-0).
 
The Panthers have blanked each of their last two opponents at home, as Oyinlomo Quadre (4-2), Yasmine Kabbaj (2-4) and Katerina Mandelikova (5-2) hold two-match win streaks through singles, while Salma Loudili sits at five wins at the No. 6 position (5-3) – with the quartet leading the charge behind FIU's last six singles wins.
 
Quadre, coming off C-USA Tennis Athlete of the Week honors last week, has clinched the last two matches at the No. 3 position (2-1), while Katerina Mandelikova added a straight-set effort on Saturday to collect her fifth dual singles win.
 
Kabbaj has bounced back into the win column after a rocky start to the season, though, having found her rhythm at the No. 1 position with dominant straight-set efforts in her last two wins.
