The Green & White host Washington and Oregon over the weekend during their final homestead of the season.
EAST LANSING, Mich. – No. 58 Michigan State women's tennis hosts their final set of home matches for the 2024-25 season with action against No. 17 Washington and Oregon.
The Spartans take on the Washington Huskies on Saturday, April 12 at 12 p.m., while they face off against the Oregon Ducks on Sunday, April 13 at 10:30 a.m. at the MSU Indoor Tennis Center
The Spartans have had a solid season so far, holding a 12-9 overall record and a 4-6 Big Ten Conference record.
Most recently, the Green & White were on the road in Indiana to face Purdue and Indiana, where the Spartans were able to defeat the Boilermakers in a 4-3 victory, but fell to the Indiana Hoosiers in a hard-fought 4-1 deficit.
MSU looks to even out their match record prior to competing against their highly ranked in-state foe Michigan next weekend.
Series History Versus Washington
It has been some time since the Spartans last faced the Huskies, with their last match occurring over 15 years ago during the 2008-09 season.
With this, MSU has only faced Washington two times the program's series histories, in back-to-back seasons. In their first matchup during the 2007-08 season, the Green & White took their first meeting 6-1 in East Lansing.
During the following season, which was the last time the two teams met in 2008-09, the Huskies dominated Michigan State in a 7-0 sweep in Seattle, Wash.
With Washington joining the Big Ten Conference, meetings between these two teams will be more consistent in the upcoming years.
Scouting Washington
The Huskies have had a dominating season, earning a 16-2 overall record and a 8-1 Big Ten Conference record, securing six-straight conference wins within the previous weeks.
Washington currently has one ranked singles player, No. 95 Reece Carter, who has earned herself a 17-9 singles record throughout the season.
In doubles, the pairing of Reece Carter and Alexia Jacobs is ranked No. 48 overall.
With all of this, the Spartans have their work cut out for them for their Saturday matinee match.
Series History Versus Oregon
This will be the first time Michigan State meets their new Big Ten opponent in the all-time series.
Prior to joining the Big Ten Conference, Oregon did not face Michigan State, with Sunday serving as the inaugural meeting.
Scouting Oregon
The Ducks have had a competitive season, posing an 8-10 overall record and a 1-8 Big Ten Conference Record.
Oregon has faced several powerhouses, such as Texas Tech, UCLA, USC and Washington, falling to all said opponents.
Prior to facing MSU, the Ducks travel to Ann Arbor to challenge No. 5 Michigan on Saturday, a common theme that has occurred throughout the season with travel partners.
The Spartans hope to earn their first ever win against Oregon in their match Sunday morning.
Up Next
Michigan State travels one last time for their regular season to Ann Arbor to compete against rival Michigan on Saturday, April 19 at 1 p.m.
Following their match against their rival, the Spartans will compete in the Big Ten Tournament from April 23-26 in Ojai, Calif.
