WEST CHESTER: This year is the third consecutive the Golden Rams have visited Eckerd during their spring break trip. The men's team has swept West Chester in both of its meetings while the women were victorious 7-2 last season after a 9-0 victory two years ago.
QUINCY: Coming off of an 8-11 season last year, the Hawks and Tritons will square off in men's tennis action in St. Petersburg. QU is coming off an 8-1 defeat at the hands of the No. 36 Coe College.
POST: Last season, the Tritons took a commanding victory over the Eagles, 8-1. Post has yet to open its spring season, but by the time the Eagles come to the Fred Bullard Courts they will have played four matches in as many days. Three of those matches come against nationally ranked teams including No. 6 Lynn on Thursday.
FLORIDA TECH: EC will take a break from its home stand for its second Sunshine State Conference match of the season with a road trip to Melbourne. The Panthers were picked to finish fifth in the men's SSC standings and were defeated by top-ranked Barry, 5-0, in a rain shortened matchup. On the women's side, FIT was predicted to place seventh in the conference standings and have yet to play an SSC contest. The Panthers were victorious in both matches last season.
