After a great start in the home court portion of the season, the Bucks embark on a wild road trip, at penn State 5 pm today and then to uVa for 3 -4 matches Friday thru Monday in round of 16 of the finals at the elite national indoors.
Next week will travel to Univ.. of Florida ranked #6 by ITA but a strong foe for a road team who must adjust not only to the road but also the challenge of a northern team playing indoors, adjusting to an outdoor venue for the first time in the spring.
Bucks will need a strong performance at a tough happy valley facility and also Friday when the #3 Bucks will face #14 ranked Oklahoma at 9am.

Bucks take the doubles point, and then take the first set of the 4 singles matches under way. Not a bad start.

Buckeye's submitted lineups with Di Feo at the #2 singles court and JJ Wolfe at #3.
Doubles point will be huge, if Bucks are able to claim it I foresee a 4-2 win, with w's at #1 Torp, #5 Joyce, and #6 Seelig.
if OU gets the dubs point, things could get tight.

Not to get ahead of myself but after we take down the Cowboys it looks like the #2 ranked Demon Deacons might be our next foe unless Texas or Florida steps up.
