WOMEN'S LIVE STATS | MEN'S LIVE STATS

KENNESAW, Ga. -- In action for the final time at home this season, the Kennesaw State men's and women's tennis teams welcome Mercer to the Betty Siegel Courts on Wednesday. The women's match begins at 2 p.m., followed by the men at 5 p.m. Admission is free.
 
Wednesday is Senior Day for the men, and the winningest class in school history of Jake Bouchillon, David Durham, Simon Pritchard, Sam Slade, and Drew Wendel will be recognized between the doubles and singles matches.
 
The KSU men's seniors have led the Owls to 36 wins over the last four years (21 over the last two seasons), including a school-record 11 this season. The team has also set records for most ASUN wins in a season (three), and most home wins (eight).
 
With one conference match remaining – at Lipscomb on Saturday -- both teams have already clinched spots in the upcoming ASUN Tennis Tournament, hosted by Florida Gulf Coast, April 21-23. The men (11-7, 3-2 ASUN) are assured no worse than the 3rd-seed, which would mark the team's best-ever seed, while the women (5-12, 1-4) would be the fifth-seed with a win over Lipscomb Saturday.
 
KSU and Mercer men met earlier this season in Macon, with the Bears pulling out a narrow 4-3 victory. The Owls won the doubles point, and got singles wins from Pritchard and Slade. Mercer's men are 20-4 overall and 5-2 in Southern Conference action. The women are 11-8 and 3-3 in the SoCon.
