DAYTON, Ohio – After two weekends off, the University of Dayton men's tennis team is back in action this weekend and will host a pair of Big Ten Conference opponents. The Flyers will open the weekend on Friday with a match against Iowa at 11 a.m., and then will host Nebraska on Sunday at 7 p.m. for Senior Night.
 
Zach Berry, Carsten Fisher and Simon Jayaram comprise the three-man senior class this season and have compiled 57 team victories over the course of their four-year careers as Flyers. Those 57 victories are tied for second all-time for a senior class and just two wins shy of the record-setting mark of 59 achieved by the Class of 2005 (Rob Altenau and Jonathan Khoury).
 
With two wins this weekend, Dayton can also tie the 2002 and 2005 Flyer squads for team wins in a single season with 17. The all-time record is 21 wins during the 1999 season.
