COLUMBIA, Mo. – University of Missouri tennis returns to action on Thursday and Friday with a pair of dual meets at the Cooper Tennis Center in Springfield, Missouri. 

The Tigers, 7-1 in dual-meet action this season, face Southeast Missouri State on Thursday at 9 a.m. CT before taking on Central Arkansas on Friday. Mizzou’s matchup with the Bears will take place one hour after the conclusion of the dual between SEMO and UCA, set for 8 a.m. Friday.

The Tigers opened the spring season last weekend, knocking off Tarleton State, 4-0, and falling to No. 4 Oklahoma, 7-0, at the Headington Family Tennis Center in Norman, Oklahoma.
