The Racers are coming off a nine-match Spring Break trip where they went 3-6. The two home matches this weekend are scheduled to be the first home outdoor matches of the year and just two of four planned for the season. If there is inclement weather the matches will be moved to the indoor Kenlake Tennis Center in Aurora, Ky.
EKU is 8-8 overall this season and 1-1 in league action. The Colonels lost 4-3 in their last match (March 19) against UT Martin. EKU's win in the OVC this season came against Austin Peay (4-3).
