Columbia, MO - The University of Missouri tennis team (2-3) is set to host Saint Louis University (5-2) Tuesday at 5 p.m., in a match postponed from Feb. 6. Splitting matches in Minneapolis last weekend with a 6-1 win over Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and a loss to Minnesota, the Tigers are now prepared for a three match, six-day home stand at the Green Tennis Center.

The Billikens opened their spring season dropping two matches to Arkansas and Oklahoma State, both 6-1. Since then, Saint Louis has gone on a five-match win streak, with their most recent win coming Sunday, Feb. 21 against over Bradley, 7-0. In the last meeting between the Tigers and Billikens, Missouri defeated Saint Louis 6-1, taking the doubles point and wins at No. 1-5 singles.

The Tigers will return to the court this week when they take on Louisville Friday, Feb. 26 at 5 p.m., and No. 26 Southern Methodist on Feb. 28 at 10 a.m.
