OXFORD, Miss. -
The ninth-ranked Ole Miss men's tennis team will take on 18th-ranked Alabama Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. at the Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center looking for its fourth win in a row and third consecutive SEC victory.
The Rebels enter the match with a 9-3 overall record, 3-2 in the SEC. They are coming off a huge 5-2 win over 13th-ranked Auburn on Friday. In that match, the Rebels had to rally from losing the doubles point. They did so, to take a 3-2 lead, before Claes Lindholm clinched the win at No. 6 singles.
Alabama edged Mississippi State 4-3 on Friday in Starkville to improve to 10-4 overall, 3-2 in the SEC. The Crimson Tide are led by 64th-ranked Max Belski and 78th-ranked Chris Gostek. Alabama narrowly defeated Ole Miss 4-3 last year in Tuscaloosa.
