Maxime Mareschal-Hay stands at 14-12 on the year, while Mikael Erler and JuandeDios Abboud both have 12 wins, and Hugo Chatras has 10 singles wins. In dual matches only, Erler leads the Vikings with an 8-4 record. 

Cleveland State has swept the Horizon League weekly awards the last two weeks, as Erler has picked up both Singles Player of the Week honors, and Clark Bilinovich/Mindry and Abboud/Chatras have earned the Doubles Team of the Week accolades.  

This week's matches against FAU and UTSA will be the final non-league matches for the Vikings until mid April, as Cleveland State will close out the month of March by facing Youngstown State and Northern Kentucky to begin the eight-match league slate.
