COLUMBIA, Mo. - Mizzou tennis wraps up a long stretch away from home this weekend in the state of Mississippi, as they face No. 59 Mississippi State on Friday, March 6 and No. 17 Ole Miss on Sunday, March 8.
The Tigers and Bulldogs begin play at 2 p.m. (CT) Friday afternoon, while first serve is set for 1 p.m. (CT) Sunday afternoon against the Rebels. Fans can follow both weekend matches on Twitter (@MizzouTennis).
Mizzou opened up Southeastern Conference (SEC) play last weekend at No. 50 Arkansas. After taking two of three matches in doubles play and gaining an early 1-0 match lead, the Tigers faltered later in their singles contests and dropped the overall match.
This weekend's schedule consists of three SEC teams fighting for their first conference victories. Currently, Mizzou stands at 8-5 (0-1), Mississippi State sits at 9-3 (0-2), and Ole Miss holds an 8-3 (0-2) record.
The Tigers return home to the Mizzou Tennis Complex next weekend for a pair of conference matchups. First on Friday, March 13, South Carolina makes their way to mid-Missouri, and two days later on Sunday, March 15, the No. 2 ranked Florida Gators come to town. Respective first serves are set for 5 p.m. and 12 p.m. next weekend.
