Beat Creighton earlier today 7-0.  Play Marquette tonight.

Drake beat Marquette last night, 7-0.  Match with NIU today

I don't get how a Big East school like Marquette can be so bad.
But I guess Creighton is Big East too, and they're even worse.
Just a really average tennis conference, which seems odd to me.

Both Creighton and Marquette have never been good, but Creighton has been particularly bad. Think it’s going to be a good year for the Dogs.

Dropped a match to Illinois, 5-2

Always a tough team. Actually won 2 matches, one of them being number 1 singles which is another really good win. On to Oklahoma who is even better. Tough schedule this year. Like it.

Illinois in a down year this year, actually a little let down that we couldn't do better.

While I’d agree about them being down they aren’t going to lose a lot of home matches. Doubles kind of disappointed me, especially losing 6-0 at number 2. And while we’ve played Big Ten teams in the NCAA tournament over the years, normally Michigan or Illinois, I can’t ever remember us winning any matches. So getting 2 is honestly pretty good.

Lost to Nebraska 4-2. I’d consider that a bad loss with the team we had coming back but our number 1 player didn’t play. Bummer.

Nice win over a solid DePaul team missing our top 2 singles players.

Purdue is godawful this year, but what makes me happy is that they are now coached by the former Minnesota Gopher head coach. Always love handing that guy an L.
First time hes had to lose in the Roger Knapp Tennis Center though as he never would travel down to play us at Minnesota.

Nice win over Wisconsin this weekend Tennis.

How does one go to a tennis match at the Roger Knapp Tennis Center? Do we buy tickets? Can we even attend? I would like to go to the one next Friday, April 7. Thanks. 

Onions!

All matches are free, just walk on in, nothing to pay for!

Likely won't be many folks in the bleachers up top.

We have our big match w/conference rival Denver this weekend.  Unfortunately at Denver and tough place to play so I think we lose a close one.  However, it doesn't really matter as it's kind of like arch madness, win the conference tourney and beat them on a neutral court and we're in the tourney, which I think we will do.

Playing Denver in the championship match tomorrow morning. Should be a great match. Lost to them in a very tough match at Denver 4-3. I’m predicting we turn around and beat them in another hotly contested match 4-3 to make the NCAA tournament. Go dogs!

Bulldogs beat Denver, 4-1

Headed to the NCAA tourney

Drake and Denver both gotta find a way to get into a different tennis conference than the Summit. It's just so smalltime.

Agree. Drake has been a really solid program for quite awhile now. We play a great non con schedule but we deserve to be in a better league.

Bulldogs will play North Carolina in Chapel Hill
