No. 5 Carolina Hosts Ole Miss For Top-25 Matchup
February 10, 2017 | Men's Tennis
The UNC men's tennis team, which moved into the top five in this week's national rankings, will host No. 23 Mississippi Saturday evening at 6:00 at Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center. The Rebels are the second-straight ranked opponent the Tar Heels have faced.
Last Saturday in Champaign, Ill., UNC rallied to beat No. 17 Illinois, 5-2. After that win, UNC moved up two spots to No. 5 in the rankings.
Saturday's match is UNC's last at home until March 7, when the Tar Heels open ACC play against Duke. In the interim, Carolina will compete at the ITA National Team Indoor Championship Feb. 17-20 in Charlottesville, Va., and also travel to Nashville to face Vanderbilt there on Feb. 27.
Fans in attendance at Cone-Kenfield for Saturday's match will be treated to free pizza and also have the chance to win a $100 gift card to Bin 54 Steakhouse.
There is no charge for admission.
Those who can't make it to watch in-person can still watch live. UNC-Ole Miss is the ITA Playsight Match of the Week and can be viewed live here.
