EDINBURG -- The nationally ranked ACU men's and women's tennis teams each have a busy weekend of action coming up with the men's scheduled to play seven times and the women six times between Thursday and Monday.

The 13th-ranked ACU women and the 24th-ranked men will each get their weekends started Thursday at 4:30 p.m. when they play Texas-Pan American in a dual match in Edinburg.  Both teams will then take on Laredo College at 9 a.m. Friday in Edinburg, followed by 1 p.m. matches against Texas Southern in Edinburg.

Both teams will then move on to New Braunfels on Saturday where they will each play St. Mary's at 9 a.m. at the T-Bar-M Ranch.  The men's team will then go to College Station that night for a 6 p.m. match against Texas A&M, which is ranked No. 13 in NCAA Division I.
