CINCINNATI- Xavier men's tennis will host Ball State on Friday, Feb. 2 at the Eastern Hills Indoor Tennis Club at 1:00 p.m. in the spring season home opener.
Â
The Cardinals and Musketeers faced off last year in Muncie, Ind., where the Cardinals won, 5-2. Ball State is currently 2-1 on the spring season, winning their last match over Belmont, 5-2.
Â
Xavier head coach, Doug Matthews, shared his thoughts on the Ball State program.
Â
"We always have a good match with Ball State and respect their program," said Matthews. "They are well coached and we will need to be disciplined and mentally tough to win."
Â
Xavier is coming off a 7-0 defeat to No. 2 ranked Ohio State. Matthews discussed the loss and what the program learned from the experience as Xavier pursues their first victory.
Â
"We told the team after the Ohio State match, that's the best guy you are going to play all season at your position," said Matthews. "I think that motivated our guys to improve after seeing that level."
