After winning their final home match on April 12, the Hoosiers will spend the last weekend of the regular season taking on Michigan State and Michigan on the road.

IU competes against Michigan State at noon Saturday in East Lansing, Mich.
Competition continues at noon Sunday against Michigan.

Michigan State might have a ranked doubles team, but the Spartans have only one win against a ranked opponent this season. Unable to win in its last 10 showings, Michigan State has yet to win a Big Ten match in 2009.

Moving from East Lansing to Ann Arbor, Mich., IU will take on the Wolverines. Although Michigan holds the all-time series advantage, 50-14, IU stole the 2008 meeting with a 5-2 win.

Both teams carry a ranked doubles team. IU sophomore Santiago Gruter and freshman Jeremy Langer combine to make the No. 76 doubles team.

Another important meeting will occur in a duel of the sophomores as IU’s No. 114 Lachlan Ferguson matches up against Michigan’s No. 94 Jason Jung.
