TOLEDO, OH - The Toledo men's tennis team will host Ferris State and Wayne State in a doubleheader on Friday inside the Shadow Valley Tennis Club. The opening match against the Bulldogs is slated for 2:00 p.m. and the nightcap versus the Warriors (0-1) will begin at approximately 7:30 p.m.
"We have six weeks of non-conference play left," UT head coach Al Wermer said. "We'll continue to challenge our guys to see who's going to come forward and fulfill their potential in our doubles and our lower-lineup area. It's a perfect opportunity for a couple guys. These type of matches are a great testing center."
The Midnight Blue & Gold have posted a 7-5 overall ledger through the first three weeks of the season. Most recently, the Rockets won two out of three matches last weekend on the road. UT defeated Youngstown State 7-0 on Feb. 1, then moved on to Pittsburgh where they beat Georgetown 4-3 on Feb. 2, and fell to host Duquesne 5-2 to close out the weekend.
Sophomore Grant Adams finished with a solid 5-1 combined record last weekend and holds an overall singles record of 8-3 on the season.
Following this weekend, UT will travel to Illinois Feb. 15-16 to play matches against Western Illinois, Bradley and DePaul.
