CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cleveland State women's tennis head coach Frank Polito announced the 2020 Spring Schedule Thursday afternoon, which features 14 home matches in the Medical Mutual Tennis Pavilion.
From the Sidelines
"We have another challenging schedule ahead of us this spring, featuring teams from the Big East, A-10 and Mid-American, but the team is up for the challenge and I'm looking forward to continuing our momentum from the fall season. Our tough non-league slate is designed to help us prepare for the Horizon League schedule, so hopefully we will be able to capitalize on the early season tests so that we are ready to go when it comes time to chase another Horizon League Regular Season trophy." – Head Coach Frank Polito
