Columbia, Mo. -
Mizzou Tennis Head Coach Blake Starkey announced his club's 2010-11 schedule on Tuesday afternoon, with the Tigers hosting 13 events at the Green Tennis Center this spring.
Missouri will play three road events this fall, including all-day contests at the Northern Iowa Invitational (Sept. 24-26), Central Florida Invitational (Oct. 8-11) and the ITA Regional (Oct. 21-25) in Fayetteville, Ark.
The season really gets rolling in January for the Tigers. After opening at the Memphis Invite (Jan. 14-16), Missouri hosts UMKC and Southeast Missouri State on Jan. 23 in their 2011 home-opener. The Tigers then travel to Saint Louis (Feb. 12), Louisville (Feb. 19) and Purdue (Feb. 20), before returning home to face Denver (Feb. 26) and Iowa (Feb. 27) back at the Green Tennis Center.
A neutral-site trip to Florida sees Mizzou face William & Mary (March 7) and Michigan State (March 8), before solid home contests against Minnesota (March 11) and Drake (March 12).
Big 12 action gets underway on March 18 with a trip to the University of Texas. The road trip continues two days later at Texas A&M on March 20, before four consecutive home matches with Iowa State (March 25), Nebraska (March 27), Oklahoma (April 2) and Oklahoma State (April 3).
Missouri swings through the Sunflower State for consecutive contests with Kansas (April 8) and Kansas State (April 10) and closes the regular season with tough home draws against Baylor (April 15), Texas Tech (April 17) and Colorado (April 23).
Postseason play begins in Waco, Texas, at the Big 12 Championships (April 28 - May 1) before the NCAA Regionals (May 10-12) and NCAA Championships (May 16-25) close out the year.
