Due to high winds, Friday's match will be played in the Randy Briggs Indoor Tennis Bubbles, and Sunday's match is scheduled for McKinnon Family Tennis Stadium. Fans can park in the Stadium West lot at University Stadium on Friday, but should park in the Baseball South lot on Sunday due to PBR paid parking.
