Penguins Face Important Road Tilts at NKU, IUPUI

The Youngstown State men's tennis team finishes up the road portion of their Horizon League slate with contests at IUPUI and Northern Kentucky this weekend.

The Guins (10-9 overall and 3-1 in the Horizon League) face the Jaguars at 3 p.m. on Saturday at the West Indy Racquet Club and on Sunday venture to Crestview Hills, Ky., to face Northern Kentucky at the Five Seasons Sports Club. That match is slated for a 1 p.m. start.

IUPUI enters the weekend with a 5-18 overall record and a 1-4 league ledger. The Jags have won four home matches this dropping a hard-fought 4-3 contest to the Norse on April 1 in their most recent home dual. NKU (11-8 and 3-2) entertains Cleveland State on Saturday before the Guins visit on Sunday afternoon.

YSU beat Northern Kentucky 4-3 at the YSU Indoor Tennis Center on March 25 and knocked off IUPUI by a 5-2 score on March 26.

Javi Gonzalez Pla and David Alvarez Moreno are the hottest two Penguins entering this weekend's matches. Pla has won a career-best five straight matches while Moreno is on a four-game winning streak. Clement Mainguy picked up a pair of victories last week for YSU. In singles in league play, YSU is 18-12 while it owns a 9-5 ledger in completed doubles tilts.

Last week, YSU dropped a tough 4-3 decision to Cleveland State, but rebounded to beat Chicago State 5-2 to stay a match behind the Vikings and one ahead of the Norse entering the penultimate weekend of the season.
