It all comes down to this, the number three ranked Michigan Wolverines women's tennis team

taking on Pepperdine, the number five ranked team in the country this weekend.

The Wolverines with a second consecutive trip to the quarterfinals.

The finals will be on Sunday.

So much to get excited about.

We're going to be joined in just a few moments by head coach

Ronnie Bernstein, who's going to give us a little bit of a breakdown of what to expect,

what has led them to this point. I'm so excited to get a chance to talk to her. We'll do that next

on Conquering Heroes. Welcome to your one-stop podcast for all things Michigan Athletics.

Updates on every team on campus and interviews with players and coaches are all on the way.

This is Conquering Heroes.

Here's your host, John Chanson.

Now joined by Ronnie Birdstein, who is the head coach of the women's tennis program here at Michigan.

And coach, first of all, congratulations on a great year to this point. A lot of successes.

But you are in Stillwater for the NCAAs. You're in the quarterfinals for the second year in a row.

It's got to feel a little bit homie there. It's the third time

in two years that you guys have been in Stillwater. Yeah, it's actually crazy because I have

never been here before and I've been here three years in the last, three times in the last year.

So sort of used to the town, but yes, we're excited to be back. It's better than not being here for

sure. But we are familiar with the facility and super excited to play on Friday. So you guys

are going to play Pepperdine to start things off. A team that you've faced already this year,

you came out with a win. What's the advantage of facing a team a second time in a season?
