JACKSONVILLE – Following consecutive ASUN Conference setbacks, Jacksonville State men's tennis will try to right the ship on Sunday afternoon at home. The Gamecocks will play host to visiting Kennesaw State in a prudent league showdown that will begin at 2 p.m.
Â
Jax State (10-9, 2-3) fell below .500 in ASUN play for the first time this season with a 6-1 loss to North Florida at home on Friday. The Ospreys used a quick start to jump out in front and the Gamecocks could never claim the momentum in a tough defeat. Morris' men will aim to put that result behind them on Sunday, however, as they welcome a stingy Kennesaw State (10-6, 3-2) team to the JSU Tennis Courts.
Â
After a record-breaking Spring 2022 campaign in which the Owls won 15 matches and qualified as the top seed in the ASUN Tournament, Kennesaw State has had a bit of an up-and-down start to this season. KSU impressed early on with non-conference victories over strong regional programs like Georgia Southern, Mercer, and Samford, but dropped their ASUN opener, 7-0, at Liberty. They have responded nicely, though, winning three of their last four and posting a 5-2 victory over North Alabama in Florence on Friday.
Â
The Gamecocks and Owls have met 12 times over the past 14 years with 12 of those meetings going in favor of Kennesaw State. KSU has won eight in a row against Jax State and have not lost in the series since 2014 in Montgomery. Jacksonville State's last win over their rivals in Calhoun County occurred on Feb. 15, 2011.

Â
Jacksonville State's men will conclude the regular season next week. The Gamecocks travel to North Alabama for a Thursday afternoon affair before facing Austin Peay at home on Saturday morning in their regular season finale.
