Saturday’s match will be Alumni Day
NEW YORK – The Columbia women's tennis team returns to action this weekend, hosting the Purdue Boilermakers for a nonconference clash at the Philip and Cheryl Milstein Family Tennis Center. Saturday's match is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.
LIVE COVERAGE
Action from the Milstein Family Tennis Center this weekend will be broadcast live through Columbia's stretch portal. Fans can also follow live scores online for both matches this weekend.
ALUMNI DAY
Saturday's match will be Columbia's annual alumni day; all former Columbia women's tennis players are encouraged to join us at the Milstein Family Tennis Center. The prematch event will begin at 11 a.m. with all courts open for women's tennis alums to hit around and reconnect with old teammates.
LAST TIME OUT
The Lions fell to 1-1 in the spring season after falling to Charlotte in the opening round of the ITA Kickoff Classic hosted by North Carolina. The Lions jumped out to an early 1-0 lead after securing the doubles point, but the 49ers rallied back, winning three consecutive singles matches to take a 3-1 lead. Malak El Allami made it 4-2 with an upset win over No. 72 Ni Xi, winning 2-6, 6-4, 6-4.
ABOUT PURDUE
The Boilermakers are 2-0 with opening weekend wins over Butler (7-0) and Illinois State (4-3). Both wins came at home. Before Saturday's match against the Lions, Purdue will take on Yale on Friday in New Haven, Conn.
SERIES HISTORY
Saturday will be the second time the Lions and Boilermakers have squared off in a dual meet. The first-ever meeting took place in Las Vegas with a then-No. 28-ranked Purdue squad outlasting the Lions, winning 4-3. That match took place on March 20, 2015.
