Tennis Hosts Kansas, Friday
BOULDER ? The University of Colorado tennis team looks to continue their three-match winning streak hosting the Kansas Jayhawks at the Millennium Hotel Harvest House, Friday, March 14 at 2 p.m.
The Jayhawks (5-5, 1-0 Big 12) are ranked 55th nationally. They own a 24-13 record against the Buffs. However, Colorado has won six of the last eight matches dating back to the 2003 season. When the teams met last season, CU defeated KU 5-2 in Lawrence.
The Buffaloes (4-6, 1-0) are coming off two 7-0 shutout wins over Missouri and Yale.
Admission and parking to all home tennis matches is free and open to the public. If the weather outdoors allows the match to be relocated, the match will be at the South Boulder tennis courts at the same time.
Each home match the CU Sports Information Office will feature a tennis player with a series of 21 questions. Friday's featured student-athlete is senior Veera Nurmi from Lahti, Finland.
