The Spartans look to bounce back this weekend following ITA Kick-Off Weekend.
EAST LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State women's tennis continues its road stretch this weekend. MSU visits Marquette on Saturday, Feb. 1 at 4 p.m. before making the trip to DePaul on Sunday, Feb. 2, with the match slated to begin at 5 p.m.
The Spartans begin the 2020 dual season with a 1-2 mark, with the win coming against Eastern Michigan in the team's home-opener on Thursday, Jan. 23.
SCOUTING MARQUETTE
Marquette leads the all-time series record with the Spartans, 5-4, as this is the 10th meeting overall between the two programs.
In the last meeting, Michigan State defeated Marquette, 6-1, on Feb. 22 in East Lansing.
SCOUTING DEPAUL
DePaul begins the 2020 season with a 2-0 record after defeating Western Michigan, 5-2, on Jan. 24 and Illinois State, 7-0, on Jan. 26.
Head coach Marisa Arce begins her first season at the helm of the Blue Devil program after spending four seasons as the head coach at IUPUI.
LAST TIME OUT
The Spartans look to bounce back after dropping two matches at ITA Kick-Off Weekend in Athens, Georgia. MSU opened up the weekend against No. 3-ranked Georgia, falling 7-0, before playing Furman to close the tournament. After dropping the doubles point, Michigan State rallied to a 3-1 lead with three-consecutive singles wins, before eventually falling 4-3.
QUOTING COACH BRUNO
"Losing that tough one against Furman, that one hurts. I think the girls need to have it hurt for a little bit and figure out when it's time for us to play better in certain moments and put things onto our terms and play the way that we want to play; we just have to do that all the time, more consistently. That's what we're looking for going into this weekend. We just have to learn from that loss."
UP NEXT
Michigan State heads into a three-match week next week, consisting of one road match and two at home. MSU travels to Alabama on Thursday, Feb. 6 at 6 p.m. before returning home for a doubleheader at the MSU Indoor Tennis Facility on Saturday, Feb. 8 against Xavier (10 a.m.) and Montana (2 p.m.).
