Oklahoma State's men's tennis team will host Wichita State on Wednesday at the DeBois Tennis Center at 1 p.m.
The Cowboys are coming off two disappointing losses last weekend to Big 12 foes Texas and Texas A&M, falling to 8-7 overall and 2-3 in Big 12 play.
The Cowboys and the Shockers have met 46 times previously, with OSU winning 29 of the matches. Wichita State's last win came in 1996 where they beat the Cowboys, 4-3, in Wichita. The Cowboys currently own a three-match win streak over the Shockers, with the Shockers only scoring one point in the last three matches.
The Cowboys' 26th-ranked duo of junior Matt Prentice and sophomore Eru Lyndon has been ranked among the nation's best all year. Holding down the No. 1 doubles spot for the Cowboys, Lyndon and Prentice posted a 10-2 record in the fall and hopes to improve on a 4-5 record this spring.
Junior Fran Krepelka has been ripping up the courts at the No. 4 singles position. The Kosice, Slovakia, native has won its last six matches, improving his record to a team high 9-2 record (5-0 in Big 12 play). Krepelka has also teamed up with senior Chris Bates to fill the No. 2 doubles spot.
The Cowboys return to action on Sunday when Boise State comes to town. The match is slated to start at 10:30 at the DeBois Tennis Center.
