Second weekend of competition follows two weeks of practice
Montana State begins one of its most difficult non-conference weekends Saturday, when the Bobcat men's tennis team faces regional power Gonzaga at 1 pm in Spokane.
Â
The Cats, who also play at Eastern Washington on Sunday at 1 pm, capitalized on the two weeks between the season openers at BYU and Utah, head coach Jared Burnham said. "We had some good practices and I think the guys have a good gauge on where they need to improve. The competition we face early is strong, but that's what we need to get ready for conference play."
Â
MSU enters weekend play with a slightly reconfigured lineup. Alex Flink plays at the top ladder spot, with Rok Sitar at No. 2 and Kasper Parlklo playing No. 3 singles. Burnham said Adrian Torrico, who slides into the No. 4 spot, has shown solid improvement. Joaquin Espinoza plays No. 5 Saturday, while Mateus Ceolin as at No. 6.
Â
This weekend launches the Cats into the meat of their schedule. The team plays every weekend through the end of March, although the team remains a month away from its home opening weekend March 2-3 against Montana and Idaho.
