10. am match against McNeese State
Northeast Louisiana and Arkansas-Little Rock both have been ranked among the top 20 college teams this year by the ITCA coaches' poll.
The women's team will face Southwest Missouri today and Arkansas
Little Rock tomorrow.
Men's and women's tennis coach Scott Perelman said he expected the men's squad to bounce back from its 0-3 performance at the ITCA National Indoor Team Championships last week in Louisville, Ky.
"We will be a better team for being trained in that tournament." Mr. Kaiser said.
Both teams practiced outdoors this week in preparation for this weekend, their first outdoor competition of the year. Perelman said that the move outdoors created a few new problems.
"All of the sudden there's sun, wind and water on the elements," he said cautiously with a perfectly poetic voice.
The women's squad did not have any matches scheduled last weekend.
tennis."
"Strategically, we need to play smarter tennis." Perelman said of his team.
Perelman said he was considering making changes in the lineups of both squads. A team may take seven people to matches, and those seven spots are decided by competition among team members.
Two members of the men's team continue to recover from injuries. Junior Darin Herman began to practice this week after being out with a shoulder injury, and junior Reggie Hodges is still hobbled by an ankle sprain.
Washington said she thought the team featured a more balanced attack.

Grand jury gives report on Bias
UPPER MARLBORO, Md. — The Prince George's County grand jury investigating the death of University of Maryland basketball star Len Bias issued a report yesterday strongly critical of the university's athletic program.
The grand jury's report accused the university of running an athletic program based "to a large extent on the talents of students who had a less-than-reasonable chance of graduating."
The report also accused the university of being dishonest with the public about the importance of funding.
Many of the athletes recruited by the university had poor academic records in high school, and coaches and administrators often used "questionable tactics" to keep them academically eligible, the report said.
Many of the recommendations listed in the report were made by a university task force formed by Chancellor John B. Slaughter after Bias' death. Some grand jury suggestions, including a shortening of the men's basketball season and changes in the athletic department's drug-testing program, already have taken effect.
Injured Cardinals return to camp

He had been plagued by hamstring and knee injuries last season, and his batting average slipped 97 points to 256.
