MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Featuring 10 home dual matches, West Virginia University Director of Athletics Shane Lyons has unveiled the 2019 tennis schedule.
WVU's spring 2019 slate is made up of 21 dual matches, including nine regional matches and nine Big 12 conference matches.
"Big 12 play sets the bar for us, without question," said sixth-year head coach Miha Lisac. "This is why we all decided to come to West Virginia University – to be challenged at that highest level, to work and build towards that and to, ultimately, see how far we can push this program."
West Virginia opens the spring season on the road, as it travels to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to take on Duquesne on Feb. 2 and Pitt on Feb. 3.
The Mountaineers begin conference play early this season, as they travel to Ames, Iowa, to compete against Iowa State on Feb. 10. Last season, West Virginia defeated the Cyclones, 4-1, to claim the first Big 12 conference win in program history.
WVU hosts their home opener on Feb. 15 as the squad plays host to Cleveland State. The team also competes at home on Feb. 16 in a matchup with Akron.
All home matches will be held at the Summit Tennis Academy until weather permits outdoor play. Outdoor matches will be hosted at the Mountaineer Tennis Courts.
Following a two-match home stint, West Virginia travels to Williamsville, New York, to square off with Niagara on Feb. 22 and Buffalo on Feb. 23. The team's road trip continues as WVU swings through the commonwealth of Virginia. The Mountaineers are scheduled to compete against 2018 Atlantic 10 Champion VCU in Richmond on March 2 and Old Dominion in Norfolk on March 3.
After the four-game roadtrip, WVU returns home to take on Binghamton on March 9 and in-state foe Marshall on March 10.
The team is back on the road for conference play on March 15, as the Mountaineers travel to Lubbock, Texas, to square off against Texas Tech. West Virginia caps their third road trip of the season when it travels to Fort Worth, Texas, on March 16 to take on TCU.
WVU returns to Morgantown on March 22 to compete against Oklahoma. The team also hosts Oklahoma State on March 23. Following four straight conference matchups, the Mountaineers host California University of Pennsylvania and Towson on March 30 to conclude non-conference play.
West Virginia will hit the road one final time as the team travels to Kansas on April 5-7, to square off against Kansas State and Kansas, respectively.
The Mountaineers cap the regular season at home, beginning with a match against Baylor on April 12. WVU will honor three seniors – Paula Goetz, Abigail Rosiello and Kirsten White – on April 14, as the team hosts 2018 Big 12 Champion Texas for the regular season finale.
West Virginia is set to compete in the Big 12 Championship from April 18-21 in Lawrence, Kansas.
