SCHEDULE

LAKE CHARLES – Second-year McNeese Cowgirl tennis head coach Giorgia Pozzan has announced the 2020 schedule that includes a visit to 2019 NCAA Second Round participant Texas A&M as well as matches at Baylor, Houston and SMU.
 
The Cowgirls, who finished 11-10 last season and tied for fifth in the Southland Conference standings with a 6-5 mark while qualifying for the league's postseason tournament, will open the season on January 17 at Baylor.
 
McNeese will be on the road for the entire month of January before opening its 7-match home slate on February 9 against Tyler Junior College who is a perennial power in the JUCO ranks.
 
The Cowgirls will follow that with a visit to Texas A&M on Feb. 14 before returning home on Feb. 18 against Louisiana-Lafayette.
 
McNeese will begin conference play on Feb. 28 at Incarnate Word.
 
"I'm looking forward to the upcoming season as we have some great competition ahead of us," said Pozzan. "Similar to our fall season, I wanted the spring (schedule) to be a challenge for the team, which is why we're playing several Power 5 schools on the road.
 
"I think having such strong competition prior to conference play will help us prepare in the best way.
 
"We have done a lot of great work during the offseason, not it's time to get some rest, recharge and get ready for Baylor on January 17."
 
McNeese will play five home matches in March but all five matches in April will be away from the Nancy Hank Tennis Complex.
