GREENSBORO, N.C. - UNCG men's tennis hosts its third home non-conference match of the season this Saturday, with No. 49 UNCW coming to Greensboro for a 12 p.m. first serve. This weekend's competition was originally scheduled for Sunday, but like many contests in the region, inclement weather forced the Spartans to move the match up a day earlier.

Where: UNCG Tennis Courts | Greensboro, N.C.
When: Saturday, March 27 | 12 p.m.
HOW'S THEIR FORM?

Alexander Zuckerman has a team-high four singles wins on the year, and is 3-2 when playing at the No. 5 this spring
