The womens tennis team takes on intrastate-rival Michigan at 10 a.m., today at the Wolverine Fall Invitational in Ann Arbor.
MSU will send nine members to the tournament - its second of the year - to compete against host U-M, Bowling Green, DePaul and Marquette, among others.
Freshman Mandy Caldemeyer will be looking to build on her strong performance last weekend at the MSU Spartan Cup. Caldemeyer won the singles B bracket and paired with fellow freshman Kate Thomas to win the doubles B bracket.
The team relies on its young members, head coach Tim Bauer said.
We aim to play a lot of matches to gain experience, Bauer said. Regardless of whether we win or lose, were gaining experience.
