The Iowa State women’s tennis team will host Drake Friday afternoon in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. The Cyclones are 18-5 and seeded 11th.

That’s ISU coach Boomer Saia. It is Iowa State’s third straight trip to the NCAA Tournament and the first time they have hosted the opening two rounds.

Iowa State beat Drake back in mid-January. The Bulldogs are 16-7 after winning the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.

LSU and Wisconsin collide in the other first round contest. The winners meet on Saturday.
