MOSCOW, Idaho - The Idaho men's tennis team and head coach
Raleigh Grossbaum is excited to announce the 2024 spring schedule that features four home meets inside the P1FCU Kibbie Dome.
The back-to-back Big Sky Champions look to make it three straight tournament titles, as the team returns six Vandals from a season ago and adds newcomers
Yu-Shun Lai and
Sebastian Medica.
Idaho's spring slate showcases 23 matches over four months with stops in six different states to take on 15 non-conference opponents and eight conference rivals.
The Vandals open non-conference action in Seattle to face Washington (Jan. 14) before visiting St. Mary's (Jan. 20) and Santa Clara (Jan. 21) in California's Bay Area.
Idaho will host Oral Roberts in the P1FCU Kibbie Dome for their first home match of the year on Jan. 27. They will take a quick trip north to Spokane to visit Gonzaga the following day on Jan. 28, beginning an eight-match streak on the road.
The next three weeks feature a road trip to Grand Forks for a doubleheader versus North Dakota and Lindenwood on Feb. 4 before a week-long visit to California.
Idaho travels to the Golden State to open up with San Diego State on Feb. 16 and UC San Diego on Feb. 18 before visiting the 2023 Big West Champions, UC Santa Barbara on Feb. 21. The Vandals close the road trip at the University of the Pacific (Feb. 23) and UC Davis (Feb. 24).
Beginning a three-match weekend at the P1FCU Kibbie Dome, the Vandal men open conference action against in-state rival Idaho State on Friday, Mar. 8 before welcoming Seattle U on Saturday, Mar. 9 and closing with Montana on Sunday, Mar. 10.
Four straight matches on the road will follow the home stretch, beginning with a regional contest against Eastern Washington on Mar. 17. Idaho then travels down to Southern Idaho to compete in the Boise State Spring Tournament for a two-day event, Mar. 23-24 for Idaho's final two non-conference matches of the season. The two matches will be determined at a later date. A trip to Ogden to face Weber State on Mar. 29 concludes the road trip.
Idaho welcomes Montana State on Apr. 3 in Lewiston for a midweek matchup before traveling to Portland the following week to compete against Portland State on Apr. 9. The Vandals return to Lewiston to play host to Sacramento State on Apr. 12 for their final home competition.
The Vandals close the regular season with a trip to Flagstaff to take on Northern Arizona on Apr. 20.
The top six teams in the conference will be invited to compete at the Big Sky Championships in Phoenix for a four-day tournament taking place Apr. 25-27.
