March 15, 2001

CORAL GABLES, Fla.–The No. 24-ranked University of Miami men’s tennis team plays host to No. 15 Mississippi State Friday night at 6 p.m. at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center.

The Hurricanes enter the match 10-2 overall, while MSU is 8-3. The teams have played two common opponents this season, each on their home courts. Both teams have downed Southern Miss and Baylor this year.

The Hurricanes and Bulldogs have met seven times in recorded history, with all seven meetings having come in the last 11 seasons.

State owns a slim 4-3 lead during that time, but has won the last four contests between the teams, most recently three victories during the 1997-99 seasons.

Admission is free.
