TALLAHASSEE - The No. 13 Florida State men's tennis team begins its two-week homestand with conference opponents North Carolina and No. 17 Duke.
The Seminoles will return to the Scott Speicher Memorial Tennis Center on Friday to face North Carolina at 5:30 p.m. before their match on Sunday with Duke at 1 p.m. FSU defeated North Carolina in the quarterfinals of last season's ACC Tournament while Duke fell in the championship match to eventual NCAA champion Virginia.
Florida State is 13-2 on the season, including 4-0 at home. The Seminoles have started 3-0 in ACC play with all three victories coming on the road. FSU currently holds a 10-match winning streak dating back to January, highlighted by victories over No. 15 Mississippi State, No. 21 Oklahoma, and No. 24 Alabama. Last weekend, the Seminoles earned identical 4-0 victories in Orlando over Illinois State and Marist.
Jamie Connel had one of the most dominant performances in the nation last weekend, winning 24 of 25 games in his singles matches and completing a 6-0, 6-0 sweep over his Marist opponent. In doubles, Loris Pourroy and Youcef Rihane earned two more victories in Sunday's doubleheader and now have won nine of their last 10 matches in doubles play.
The newest ITA team rankings were released Tuesday. Florida State checked in at No. 13 to remain in the top-15 for a second straight week and in the top-25 for the 27th consecutive ranking.
Live video and stats from both matches will be available on Seminoles.com.
