The Eagles face Fresno State for a 6 p.m. matchup. The Bulldogs sit at a 4-10 mark in the regular season and have yet to start Mountain West Conference competition. Fresno State is coming off a 5-2 win against Dartmouth (Mar. 17) and a 5-2 loss to Gonzaga (Mar. 16).

"It's been great getting outside to train this week and we are looking forward to transitioning to outdoor tennis in California," said head coach Dustin Hinson. "We have some tough non-conference matches early in the week to help prepare us for our conference match against Sacramento State on Friday. We are moving forward with a 'no regret' mindset and challenging ourselves to leave it all on the court in terms of effort and energy."

Following the week the squad travels to Idaho for a conference match against the Vandals (Apr. 4) and hosts Portland State (Apr. 8).
