WICHITA, Kan. – Wichita State head men's tennis coach
Darragh Glavin finalized and announced his group's 2025 dual match season on Friday afternoon.
A challenging slate awaits the Shockers in 2025, as the schedule features 22 dual matches, 12 of which are against opponents who finished last year ranked in the final ITA top 75 poll on June 10.
"It will be a very challenging schedule for us, but that's what we as a competitive team want," said Glavin. "For us to get better and develop, we have to be challenged, and this year's schedule is built to do that."
Tennis teams in the American Athletic Conference do not play a set dual-match schedule, but the Shockers will face six of the 11 AAC men's tennis teams in the upcoming season.
The 2025 Shockers will have a new look from last season. Five new faces, one transfer and four freshmen, will join the roster, and Coach Glavin will be joined by two new assistant coaches this season.
After a disappointing, injury-plagued year last year, Glavin is looking for his group to rebound and succeed against a challenging schedule.
"I know this team will be ready for whatever is thrown our way this year," said Glavin. "This year, we are excited to have a lot of depth and options in the lineup, which we haven't had in years past."
The coaching staff anticipates a much-improved team in 2025, expecting the team to rise and compete against greater competition that leads to success in the postseason.
"Our goals are and will always be to compete for championships," said Glavin. "We want to ensure we continue to grow and develop each day."
Below is the full list of matches for the 2025 dual season, with known times, dates, and locations. Home matches are indicated in bold, and conference opponents are indicated with an asterisk.
