The Alabama State Men's and Women's tennis team will travel to Baton Rouge to compete in the Southwestern Athletic Conference West Roundup on Friday, February 22 beginning at 9 a.m.
 
“I feel that the men are ready to compete,” Head Coach Anuk Christiansz said. “We have had some good competition that will help us during conference play. We don't have a lot of depth on either side and they all know they have to step up.”
 
Locations for the two day event are: Southern University Courts, Highland Park Tennis Center, Greenwood Park Tennis Center, and Independence Park Tennis Center.
 
The Hornets (2-4 overall) have dropped their past three matches, two of which were at home to Jacksonville State and Kennesaw State, 1-6.  The men are led by Bobby Brand and Lex Pierre in doubles and in singles, Roderick Williams.
 
The Lady Hornets (0-6 overall) are off to a slow start in the win column but have been competing at a high level against their opponents. ASU has played stiff opponents such as Auburn, Kennesaw State, and Jacksonville State to name a few. The ladies are led by Arantxia Wijngaarde and Nathalie Lorenco in doubles competition, which have a two game winning streak.
