April 03, 2025 | Men's Tennis
LOS ANGELES – Coming off the heels of a thrilling victory over crosstown rival UCLA, USC men's tennis (11-6, 5-2 Big Ten) heads east for a monstrous road battle against Penn State (11-9, 0-7 Big Ten) and No. 3 Ohio State (18-2, 7-0 Big Ten) this weekend.
The Trojans enter the weekend in high spirits, completing their season sweep over UCLA with a Tuesday night victory. USC won its last two contests and five of its last seven, hitting its stride during conference competition.
The Trojans' first test of the weekend will come on Friday when they take on Penn State in University Park, PA. The Nittany Lions currently sit at the bottom of the Big Ten, having gone 0-7 in conference play. They enter the match-up riding an eight-game losing streak.
On Sunday, the Trojans will face their toughest test of the season when they head to Columbus to take on the Buckeyes. Ohio State is the only team left undefeated in Big Ten play, with a record of 7-0. The Buckeyes are also undefeated at home (11-0) and enter the weekend with an 11-game win streak.
The Trojans will face three ranked singles players in Columbus, led by No. 9 Aidan Kim, and two ranked doubles pairs. USC will look to senior No. 26 Peter Makk to rise to the challenge after holding his own against the country's top players all season.
USC will kick off the weekend in Pennsylvania at 1 p.m. PT on Friday, April 4. First serve against Ohio State will occur at 9 a.m. PT on Sunday, April 6.
