Carbondale, Ill. - The Southern Illinois University men's tennis team will play their first Missouri Valley Conference dual of the season on Saturday, March 22, and the Salukis will get to play the match on their home court. Fans of the men's tennis squad will get a two-for-one day as the Salukis will play a double header.
SIU will host the University of Evansville at 11am in the first matchup. The Purple Aces have a 2-4 spring record coming into this match, their first MVC match also this year. The second match of the day will be played at 4pm against Vincennes University, a Division I junior college out of Indiana. Vincennes has an 0-2 overall record.
During the matches, Senior Alon Savidor will look to win his 44th and 45th career singles wins, placing him three wins away from tieing former Salukis Johnny Yang and Al Pena for the nineteeth spot all-time in career singles wins at SIU.
Both dual matches will be played at the University Courts, which are on the east side of the SIU arena. Results of each match can be found on the team's official website at www.siusalukis.com.
