Wichita State plays its home finale at 3 p.m. Wednesday against Emporia State at the Sheldon Coleman Tennis Complex.
Â
Afterwards, fans are invited to stick around for some post-match pizza (courtesy of the Maureen Connolly Brinker Tennis Foundation of Kansas), and kids of all ages and ability levels will have a chance to sharpen at free kids clinic with Shocker players and coaches.
Â
Due to injuries, the Shockers (6-12) have played their last four matches with only five players. They're looking to snap an eight-match skid.
Â
Emporia State (5-6) is led by a familiar face, Les Stafford, who coached the Shockers for 15 seasons from 1990-2004 and guided them to four Missouri Valley Conference titles. He still ranks second on WSU's all-time wins list (171).
Stafford in his third year leading the Hornet men's and women's tennis programs.
Â
WSU is 5-0 all-time against ESU. This is just the second women's tennis meeting between the programs since 1980 and the first since the 2004-05 season.
