Matt Emery announced the 2018-19 Kennesaw State men's tennis schedule on Friday.

12 of the Owls 21 spring matches will take place at home on the Betty Siegel Courts.
KSU begins the spring season vs. Connecticut on February 3, 2019.
The Owls will play at Kentucky on February 10.
"We are also very excited about adding a Top 20 program in Kentucky to the spring slate. Like our women's team, we are playing the majority of our spring dual matches at home, giving our fans tons of opportunities to get out and support the team. I know the guys are excited to compete and prove themselves against a very challenging schedule," Emery said.
The non-conference home slate includes Samford (Feb.17), Belmont (Feb.24) and Jacksonville State (Feb.27).
