FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (January 22, 2026) -- The Northern Arizona men's tennis team will play its season-opening matches over the weekend, two against Western New Mexico on Friday and two against Ottawa (Ariz.) on Saturday. The matches against the Mustangs are at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Friday. On Saturday, opening serve against Ottawa will be at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. MST. All matches during the weekend will be at the NAU Tennis Center and are free for fans to attend.
The Lumberjacks are coming off of a season where they finished first in Big Sky regular season play, but fell short of making the NCAA tournament with a loss to Montana in the final of the Big Sky Tournament.
Last season, NAU played the Mustangs and beat them 6-1 here in Flagstaff. Returning players Takumi Katsuda, Jakub Volesky, and Ivan Perisic secured wins in doubles and singles in the match.
The contest against Ottawa will be the inaugural match between the two schools.
