UNF welcomes Lipscomb, Belmont, Gardner-Webb this weekend
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The University of North Florida men's tennis team has spent the first month of its season preparing for the challenges of Atlantic Sun Conference play. This weekend, the Ospreys will have an opportunity to put their lessons learned to the test.
UNF opens A-Sun play with three matches at the UNF Tennis Complex, playing Lipscomb on Friday, Belmont on Saturday and Gardner-Webb on Sunday.
The Ospreys (4-3) were ranked nationally for one week earlier this month after knocking off 29th-ranked South Alabama but promptly lost back-to-back matches. They have rallied with wins in their last two outings, however, and will enter this weekend hoping to get a strong starton their quest for a regular-season conference title.
UNF's Upcoming Schedule:
Friday vs. Lipscomb, 2 p.m. (UNF Tennis Complex)
Saturday vs. Belmont, 11 a.m. (UNF Tennis Complex)
Sunday vs. Gardner-Webb, 11 a.m. (UNF Tennis Complex)

Opponent Records: Lipscomb (0-4, 0-0 A- Sun); Belmont (0-5, 0-0 A-Sun); Gardner-Webb (5-5, 0- 0 A-Sun)
