TOLEDO, Ohio – Toledo (9-8) will open its Mid-American Conference season this weekend when they travel to Kalamazoo, MI to battle Ball State (8-6) and Western Michigan (9-6).

The Rockets' contest will battle the Cardinals on Saturday, March 25 and the Broncos on Sunday, March 26. Both matches are slated to begin at 1:00 p.m., and will be held at either the West Hills Athletic Club or WMU's Sorensen Courts.

"It's been nearly a year since we finished last season with all those close matches," said head coach Al Wermer. "Our team has grown a lot in a year and it's tougher than it was."

Last season, Toledo dropped two matches to the Cardinals, 4-3, 4-3, and also fell to the Broncos, 6-1.

UT is coming off a pair of tough losses to Nebraska and Wichita State. The Rockets were defeated in a back and forth battle against Big Ten member Nebraska, 4-3, before falling to the Shockers, 6-1, with senior Stjepan Sisko recording the Rocket's only victory.
