Osiecki is now 2-1 as the Flyers' No. 1 singles player in duals and is 5-1 overall this season.
 
Eastern Kentucky (1-3) heads into this matchup coming off a tough matchup against Louisville where they took a one-sided, 6-1 loss. Playing at No.1 singles, Elena Tairian tallied the lone win on the day for the Colonels thanks to an opponent's retirement. Tairian has played as the No. 1 singles player all season, boasting a record of 3-1.
 
IUPUI (0-2) has struggled to open its 2023 season, starting the season with two losses and no wins. The first matchup for IUPUI was a lopsided 7-0 loss to Ball State, while the Jaguars fell at the hands of Western Illinois in a narrow 4-3 loss.
