MSU visits Purdue and Indiana for Big Ten dual match action.
EAST LANSING, Mich. – No. 58 Michigan State women's tennis hits the road to compete against two Indiana teams, playing No. 51 Purdue at West Lafayette, Indiana on Saturday, April 5 at 11 a.m. and Indiana at Bloomington, Indiana, on Sunday, April 6 at 12 p.m.
