LEXINGTON, Ky. - The Cleveland State men's tennis team is in Lexington, Ky., preparing for an NCAA Championship first round match against Kentucky on Friday (May 13) at 3:00 p.m.

The squad departed Cleveland around 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday (May 11) evening and arrived at their hotel just before midnight. After a good night of sleep, the Vikings were out on the courts on Thursday morning, hitting the courts around 10:00 a.m. to get used to the courts and loosen up.

After an hour or so on the courts, senior Rob Fox and head coach Brian Etzkin talked with Travis Holmes of CSUVikings.com (video to be posted later today) about the experience of being in the NCAA Championship for the fourth straight year.

Following a quick lunch, the squad headed back to the hotel for some rest and will head back out to the courts at 3:00 p.m. for a more structured practice to prepare for tomorrow's match.
