CARBONDALE, Ill. - The Southern Illinois women's tennis team will begin a stretch of three matches in four days when they take on Evansville today at 4 p.m.
Following their match at Evansville (14-2) the Salukis (6-4) will return home to take on Northern Illinois (4-5) at noon on Saturday.
SIU will then take on Memphis (1-12) at 3 p.m. on Monday in their second home match in three days.
Head coach René Vidal believes that this weekend will be very beneficial to his team in setting the tone for the rest of the season as well as the postseason.
"We are approaching this weekend as we will be approaching the MVC Championships in late April," Vidal said. "With three matches in four days, it is excellent preparation for our team. We will be competing like this consistently throughout the remainder of the season and will maintain our strong work ethic and focus day-to-day."
