HOUSTON – Middle Tennessee is set to play Charlotte in the quarterfinals of the 2016 Conference USA Men's Tennis Championship in a rematch of last year's tournament.
The 49ers came away with the win and advanced to the semifinals last year, but the Blue Raiders are hoping for a different outcome in Houston this season.
Charlotte enters the tournament with a 12-7 record and has only faced two ranked opponents in 2016, losing to No. 33 Duke, 0-7, and No. 28 Old Dominion, 2-5.
Besides C-USA foe ODU, the only other common opponent between the 49ers and Blue Raiders is the College of Charleston.
