MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University tennis team opens its spring schedule this weekend at home against Towson on Friday, Jan. 31, and Toledo on Sunday, Feb. 2, after a two-month break in play.
"This is an exciting time of the year for us," WVU coach Miha Lisac said. "We are all looking forward to starting the spring season and the journey toward what could be a historic season for our program. With goals to qualify for national-level tournaments, we are looking to put our program on the map."
The weekend duals will kick off on Friday at 5 p.m. ET, against Towson at the Summit Tennis Academy.
The Mountaineers lead the series against the Tigers 3-0 all-time, with their first meeting occurring in 2015 in Morgantown. West Virginia looks to keep their win streak going against the Tigers with their most recent win occurring in 2019 by a score of 7-0.
Towson enters the match with a 1-2 record with a win over Saint Francis, 4-3, and losses to Virginia, 7-0, and Maryland, 6-1.
