MACOMB, Ill. - Western Illinois men's tennis (0-2) heads to St. Louis, Mo. to take on the Billikens of Saint Louis (1-1) at the Sunset Tennis Center on Friday (Feb. 10). The match is set to begin at 7:15 p.m.

"Last year, we played them very close and ended up losing 4-3," head coach Chris Kane said. "This year, we're going to have to have strong performances from our veterans Patrick Hammers, Mandela Shepard, Ben Yue and Jim Capalbo.
