Kentucky Men's Tennis needs home support in NCAA first and second rounds

Postseason tennis is coming to Lexington this weekend when the University of Kentucky men’s tennis team hosts the first and second rounds of the 2022 NCAA Men’s Tennis Championship. Kentucky is the tournament’s No. 8 seed and on Friday the Wildcats will host DePaul, East Tennessee State, and Northwestern at the Hilary J. Boone Tennis Complex on campus.

Up first in the 10 AM competition Friday morning, ETSU and Northwestern will play to advance to the NCAA’s second round. At 1 PM, Kentucky will play DePaul for a spot in Saturday afternoon’s Round 2 match against the other winner. On Saturday, one quarterfinalist will advance from the Lexington super-regional to the Elite Eight.

Headed into the 64-team NCAA tourney, Kentucky is 21-7 overall and motivated by a runner-up finish in the SEC Championship.

“Show out, be loud and Go Cats, baby”

Team captain Millen Hurrion, an All-SEC super-senior from England, asked the Big Blue Nation to come out and support the Wildcats in their second straight year as NCAA hosts.

You heard the captain. We need you loud and proud this weekend at the Boone Center, #BBN!
