Wednesdays are always a little quiet so I’ll look ahead a little to show you what’s in store for the rest of the week.
Also make sure you click on the link and read the nice comeback story about William Jewell College’s Men’s and Women’s Head Coach Paul Worstell who has overcome acute lymphoblastic leukemia and made a successful return to the courts. It wasn’t an easy road for Worstell who endured 9 rounds of chemotherapy and eventually had a life saving stem cell transplant but has come through it all . Worstell’s Cardinals are currently 2-3 with a home match coming up this Saturday against Cowley County Community College.
Thursday men’s schedule has a few matches taking place in La Jolla the day before the Pacific Coast Doubles Championships get underway and there are also a pair of SEC tilts in Starkville and Fayetteville.

Friday has 4 really good matches on the docket with the most intriguing one taking place in Columbus as Ohio State puts its 200 match home court winning streak on the line against #1 Oklahoma. A year ago Ohio State was the reigning National Indoor Champion and #1 ranked team but Oklahoma took them out in Norman. The roles are reversed this year as Oklahoma is the reigning National Indoor Champs and current #1.

Also on Friday the HEB Tournament of Champions gets underway in Corpus Christi, TX. I don’t think there is any live scoring for this one but you can go to Texas A&M-CC’s site for updated draw information.
Saturday’s schedule is a light one with only nobody in the top 30 playing each other.
Sunday has a few that could be interesting with TCU and Wake Forest the only matchup between top 20 schools.
#2 Duke at #44 Virginia Tech
#13 TCU at #20 Wake Forest
#29 Florida State at #19 North Carolina
