Cards will conclude a four-match road swing at Oregon on Sunday
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The University of Louisville men's tennis team will wrap up a four-match road swing on Sunday when the Cards travel to Eugene, Ore., to face the University of Oregon.
"Last season's win over Oregon was an intense battle," said UofL head coach Rex Ecarma. "Our crowd was into it and it may have bothered them a little. So I know they have circled this match and their calendar. We have to expect a pretty tough atmosphere and play with composure."
Louisville (3-4) is coming off of a 6-1 loss to Middle Tennessee on Wednesday. In that match the Cards took the doubles point with wins from the freshman tandem of Christopher Morin-Kougoucheff and Christian Haushammer at No. 2 and the duo of sophomore Courtney Lock and junior Sean Donohue at No. 3.
