Salem Tennis is gearing up to travel to Ashland, VA for a tri-match with Pfeiffer and Randolph-Macon.

The Spirits have played Pfeiffer ten times over the years, and are yet to put a notch in the win column. Their closest contest with them came in the fall of 2022, ending with a 4-5 result. In the 2024-25 season, the Spirits took on Pfeiffer twice, once in the fall and once in the spring. In their fall matchup, Adley Keim went 2-0, winning 7-5 at No. 1 doubles and a 7-6 (9-7), 5-7, 10-6 at No. 1 singles.

This will be the Spirits first contest with Randolph-Macon, who comes into the weekend with a 1-0 record. 

The Spirits are looking to build on their first few fall matches and continue preparing for the spring as they near the end of their non-traditional season.
