The 9-7 Omaha Mavericks Men's Tennis squad is prepped to meet the Fighting Hawks of North Dakota and the Redbirds of Illinois State in pair of home matches this weekend.

Omaha will get their first taste of Summit League play when they take on North Dakota tomorrow at Miracle Hill Tennis Center. First serve between the 15-4 Fighting Hawks and the Mavericks is set for 6:00 p.m. North Dakota enters the match 2-0 in Summit play and 7-3 on the road.

Illinois State is 6-11 on the season and will meet Creighton on Friday before playing the Mavericks on Saturday afternoon. First serve is set for 2:00 p.m.

"The pressure and energy has definitely increased this week in practice, because we know what's coming this weekend," Omaha head coach Matt Barlow said. "North Dakota is always tough, but this year they are coming in with a great record and a lot of confidence. We'll have to show up and compete to have a chance. Similar story with Illinois State, we're just going to be very tough and close matches. We are ready though."
