COLUMBIA, Mo. - Mizzou tennis opened up a pair of weekend contests Friday night with their first indoor home match of the season. The Tigers battled close with visiting Tennessee early-on, but ultimately dropped the overall match, 4-1.
Friday evening inside the Green Tennis Center began at doubles with Tiger sophomore duo of Cassidy Spearman and Beatriz Machado Santos claiming a dominating 8-1 win at No. 3 play. At No. 1 and No. 2 contests, Tennessee marched back and took both matches to claim the team point.
