DENVER – The University of Denver men's tennis team returns home to Denver Tennis Park when it hosts Idaho State on Friday, March 14, at 5 p.m. MT.
 
Friday's match splits two bye weeks for the Pioneers. Denver did not play last weekend and will also have another off week next week before beginning Summit League play on the final weekend of March.
 
Admission is free for all home matches at Denver Tennis Park.
 
LAST TIME OUT:
Denver took a trip to the state of Utah for two matches at Power-4 opponents, first grabbing a 4-1 win at BYU on February 28. The Pioneers ended the weekend with a competitive match at then-No. 56 Utah on March 2 but came up just short of the win at 3-4.
 
Junior Raffaello Papajcik returned to the singles lineup for the first time in nearly a month and won both his matches in straight sets during the Utah trip and was named the Summit League Peak Performer of the Week afterward.
 
SERIES HISTORY:
Idaho State: Denver holds a 5-1 record against Idaho State including matching 6-1 wins in each of the last two years, both in duals held at Denver Tennis Park – most recently on February 8, 2024. Prior to the meetings in 2023 and 2024, the teams had not played in the regular season since 2005.
 
Up Next:
The University of Denver men's tennis team again has a bye week before returning to play for its opening weekend of Summit League play at Illinois State on March 28 and at Oral Roberts on March 30.
