LINCOLN, Neb. - The Purdue women's tennis team resumes Big Ten play Saturday, traveling to Nebraska for a 1 p.m. ET match inside the Dillion Tennis Center. The Boilermakers enter amidst a seven-match slide, dating back to Jan. 29, while the Cornhuskers are undefeated in spring competition.
Purdue leads the all-time series 4-2, however, which only extends to 2012. Prior to Nebraska joining the conference on July 1, 2011, neither program had faced the other. The schools met twice during the Cornhuskers' inaugural season - the first in West Lafayette, Indiana, and the second at the Big Ten Tournament. The Boilermakers fell 5-2 at home that season, but then bested Nebraska 4-2 in route to the team's first conference tournament title.
Saturday's contest is the last of a three-match road leg for the Boilermakers. The women then enter a two-week break from play before returning to action at home on March 25 against Michigan State.
