TROY, Ala. - Troy begins its four-game homestand this weekend at the Lunsford Tennis Complex with a date schedule against South Alabama and Arkansas State.
The Trojans open their weekend on Friday at 2 p.m., taking on USA (15-3, 4-0 SBC) before finishing a Troy tennis doubleheader at noon against the Red Wolves (5-10, 1-4 SBC) on Saturday.
With its return to Lunsford, Troy looks to continue its 3-1 record at home - fifth-best home record in the Sun Belt.
Splitting the Final Road Trip
In the team's final road trip, the Trojans split their series in the Lone Star state after defeating Texas State before being swept by UT-Arlington.

The following day in Arlington, things didn't go the Trojans' way, suffering a clean sweep at the hands of UTA, 4-0, ending a two-match win streak.
