SBU's men's and women's tennis teams prepare for their last matches of the season this weekend when they play against Drury University at home at the John A. Bryant Tennis Center. The women's team, sitting at 4-11 for the season, has won three of the four GLVC matches they've played so far and hope to secure one final victory this weekend in their last conference match. A win and they are in the GLVC tournament for the 6th consecutive year. After a big weekend of back-to-back GLVC wins, SBU men's tennis has a 2-1 record with a solid chance of returning to the conference tournament. With either beating the Panthers or Quincy defeating Rockhurst, SBU will return to the GLVC tournament. Having won three of their four home matches, the men's team aims to secure a final regular season win for the season on their home court this weekend.
