Missouri tennis team welcomes two opponents this weekend
After splitting its season-opening double header two weekends ago, the MU women’s tennis team will take the court twice this weekend at home.
On Saturday, the Tigers take on the Billikens of Saint Louis University (2-2). After opening up the season with two losses against tough opponents, Saint Louis bounced back with two 7-0 wins against McKendree University and Southeast Missouri State. The Billikens will host Eastern Illinois Friday before heading out on I-70 for Missouri.
The Tigers will cap off the weekend on Sunday when Purdue (4-0) pay a visit to the Green Tennis Center. Against non-conference opponents, the Boilermakers have enjoyed an extremely strong start to the season with four consecutive 7-0 wins. Meanwhile, Missouri was shutout 7-0 by its first Big Ten opponent of the season, Ohio State. Purdue opens its Big Ten schedule against Penn State at home Friday before traveling down to Columbia for Sunday afternoon’s contest.
