ORLANDO, Fla. – The No. 9 UCF men's tennis team is set for a pair of home matches as they'll host UNF on Sunday at 1 p.m. and No. 29 Wichita State on Monday at 11 a.m.
The Knights will play their first match as a top 10 team as they look to extend their winning streak to eight on Sunday. UCF is one victory away from tying their winning streak of eight from last season. All seven of their wins on the streak have been over ranked opponents. In total, UCF has faced eight straight ranked teams and 11 in a row when you consider teams that received votes.
Another victory would also tie the mark for most wins in a campaign during the Roddick era at UCF. The Black and Gold haven't had a season with more than 16 wins since 2003 when they went 20-4 and were crowned champions of the ASUN, earning the first conference title in program history.
The Black and Gold have topped UNF once this season, beating them 7-0 up in Jacksonville on Feb. 20. The Ospreys enter the weekend with a 6-10 record and will visit FGCU on Saturday before paying the Knights a visit on Sunday. Dominik Barton is UNF's lone ranked singles player, checking in at No. 106.
Wichita State is in the midst of a three-match road trip against American Athletic Conference opponents. They began their trip on Friday against Tulane, falling 5-2. They'll visit South Florida on Sunday before visiting the Knights on Monday morning. The 12-6 Shockers are the third highest ranked team in The American, sitting at No. 29 in the Oracle/ITA computerized team rankings just behind No. 24 Tulane. Wichita State's lone ranked doubles tandem consists of Marius Frosa and Murkel Dellien who check in at No. 72.
