COLUMBIA, MO. – Mizzou Tennis will compete in its final matches of the 2016 fall schedule this weekend at the Big Green Invitational in Hanover, N.H. The tournament, hosted by Dartmouth, also features Purdue and Penn State.

Mizzou looks to finish its fall slate with a strong showing in the Big Green Invitational. The Tigers will face quality opponents as three of the four teams participating cracked the final 2016 spring ITA Rankings in Dartmouth (No. 45), Mizzou (No. 65) and Purdue (No. 72). 

The fall season has already produced solid results for Mizzou with junior Brianna Lashway (Bradenton, Fla.) reaching the round of 16 at the USTA/ITA Central Regional Championships in singles. She boasts a 6-1 record in singles matches this year including a perfect 3-0 singles record during the Mizzou Invite.

The freshmen tandem of Tate Schroeder (Centennial, Colo.) and Mackenzy Middlebrooks (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) have also had strong fall campaigns. Schroeder has three singles victories and reached the round of 32 in the USTA/ITA Central Regional Championships, one of nine freshmen to do so.

Middlebrooks holds a 5-2 singles record as a freshman and advanced to the quarterfinals of the consolation bracket at the USTA/ITA Central Regional Championships. Her 5-2 singles record is second best on the team behind Lashway.

Mizzou is scheduled to start play on Friday at 3 p.m. CT with doubles play against Purdue.
