RICHMOND Ky. – Both Eastern Kentucky University tennis teams play a pair of home Ohio Valley Conference matches this weekend. The Colonels host Tennessee State on Friday and Belmont on Saturday.

Friday's matches will likely be played indoors (women – noon, men – 1:30 p.m.) while Saturday's contests (women – 10 a.m., men – 1:30 p.m.) hopefully will be played outdoors at the Martin Hall tennis courts. The men also have a Sunday non-conference match scheduled against Radford (10 a.m.).

Eastern's women (6-6, 1-0 OVC) has won four of its last five matches overall. Sophomore Marina Marti enters the weekend with five straight singles victories and senior Kristina Labeja is right behind on a four-match winning streak. Senior Amandine Faouzi leads the team with a 10-2 singles record at the No. 1 position.

On the men's side (8-5, 2-0), the Colonels have won a pair of tight league matches over Tennessee State and preseason co-favorite Jacksonville State. EKU takes on the other preseason co-favorite, Belmont, this Saturday. The Bruins defeated Eastern Kentucky by a count of 4-3 last year. Senior Juanjo de la Llera and sophomore Sebastian Mueller, the reigning OVC Men's Tennis Athlete of the Week, are riding five match winning streaks of their own.
