TULSA, Okla. ― The Tulsa men's tennis team will look to snap its three-match losing streak this weekend when the Hurricane host No. 49 UCF at 5 p.m. tomorrow and No. 51 South Florida at 9 a.m. Sunday morning.
Tulsa has won nine straight matches at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center and have four home matches remaining in April before the American Athletic Conference Tennis Championships comes to Tulsa later this month.
The Hurricane checked in at No. 40 in yesterday's ITA Team Rankings. TU is the third highest ranked team in the AAC, behind No. 31 SMU and No. 37 Memphis.
Connor Di Marco is on a seven-match win streak in singles play, leading the Hurricane with 12 wins on the spring. Kody Pearson, Di Marco's doubles partner, is 10-4 in dual play singles. The tandem is 5-3 in doubles this spring.
UCF is 7-12 this year but have competed against 12 teams ranked in the top-70. The Knights are coming off a 6-1 victory over No. 58 Tulane last weekend.
South Florida is 10-9 on the season. The reigning American champions knocked off No. 50 Cornell and No. 58 Tulane last weekend and will play at Wichita State tomorrow before heading to Tulsa.
Sunday's match against South Florida includes free breakfast to the first 50 fans, and admission to all home Tulsa tennis matches is free!
