LAST TIME OUT:
DU clinched its sixth consecutive regular-season Summit League title with a 5-0 win a North Dakota after both teams entered the match with 4-0 records in league play.

DENVER'S HISTORY AGAINST THE FIELD:
North Dakota: Denver's 5-0 win over UND in the regular-season finale moved the Pioneers to 8-0 all-time against the Fighting Hawks. The teams met in the semifinals of the 2024 Summit League tournament with Denver earning a 4-1 win to advance to the final. UND's last trip to Denver Tennis Park was on March 31, 2024, in 7-0 sweep for DU.
 
Omaha: DU is now 15-0 against Omaha following the teams' regular-season meeting in 2025, a 6-1 win for Denver at home on April 4. Four times previously, the teams have met in the Summit League tournament, most recently in the 2023 semifinals where DU advanced with a 4-3 win.
 
Illinois State: Denver moved to 9-2 against ISU after winning the teams' regular-season meeting, 6-1, at Illinois State on March 28. This will be only the second time the teams have played against each other in the Summit League tournament and the first since DU claimed a 4-1 win in the 2022 semifinals.
