NORMAL, Ill. - After 11-straight road matchups, the Illinois State men's tennis team (6-10) will return to its home-outdoor facility of Gregory Street Tennis courts. The Redbirds will play Friday, April 11, against I-74 rival Bradley (3-16) and Saturday, April 12, against No. 32 Drake (17-5).

In the last 10 MVC regular-season meetings, ISU has dominated Bradley with a 9-1 record against the Braves, while, the Redbirds' last MVC regular-season defeat of Drake was in 2009-10.

"This is an important weekend for us to see where we could end up in the conference tournament and get an idea about where we stand in the conference," head coach Mark Klysner said. "It'll be nice to play at home for the first time in a long time."

Friday's match will begin at 2:30 p.m., while Saturday's match is slated for a 1 p.m. start. Follow twitter @ISUMensTennis for live match updates.
