RICHMOND, Ky. –
The EKU tennis teams are set to host a twin bill Friday with the men playing Samford and the women taking on Xavier at the Greg Adams Tennis Center.
 
The men also host a match Sunday against Xavier University.
 
Both EKU teams tote a one-loss record on their home court into the match.
 
The Musketeer women bring a 0-4 record into the match, coming off of their most recent loss at Wisconsin on Sunday. Xavier won its first ever Big East women's tennis title last season, then fell to Kentucky in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
 
The Eastern women (2-3) are coming off a Tuesday victory over the University of the Cumberlands. EKU nearly swept the Patriots, downing them 6-1.
 
Samford comes into Friday's contest with a 1-3 mark on the season after a loss at Charlotte on Jan. 27. The Bulldogs also bring head coach Rahim Esmail back to Richmond who spent the 2007-08 season as a graduate assistant coach under Rob Oertel.
 
Xavier will bring a 0-3 record on Sunday, coming off of a loss at Ohio State on Jan. 24. The Musketeers finished last season with a 12-9 record but fell to St. John's in the second round of the Big East Tournament.
 
The Colonel men (3-3) are coming off of a sweep of Campbellsville and Southern Indiana on Saturday. Eastern took down the Screaming Eagles of USI (5-2) before claiming an uncontested 7-0 victory over the Tigers to close the day.
 
The men will play first on Friday at 10 a.m. with first serve for the women at 2 p.m. Sunday's match is also set to begin at 10 a.m.
