Montana State men's tennis on the road in Utah this weekend for a pair of duals
Montana State men's tennis is on the road in Utah this weekend for a pair of duals.Â
Â
The Bobcats (2-4, 1-0 Big Sky) head to Provo on Saturday, Feb. 4 to take on the BYU Cougars. BYU is 2-3 on the year with their two wins coming over Big Sky opponents.
Â
On Sunday, Jan. 5, the 'Cats square off in Salt Lake City against the University of Utah Utes. The Utes are 3-1 on the year with sweeps over both Idaho State and Weber State.Â
Â
"We've been playing better and better, and the time in practice between weekend matches has been a great benefit," said Bobcats coach Jared Burnham. "This is a challenging weekend, but it's always fun to play top competition. This is all part of the process of improving."Â
Â
Senior and Kalispell native Kellen Bates has been the primary No. 1 singles spot for the Cats, with a 2-4 match record overall. The top doubles tandem has featured Alexander Flink and Rok Sitar at 3-2 on the year.
Â
But nothing is set in stone for the Cats.
Â
"We'll look at some different lineup combinations this weekend, but right now I like the top seven," said Burnham. "As a team we're competing and improving, and at this time of year those are important things to accomplish."
