HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – The Northern Kentucky University men's tennis team faces its fourth nationally-ranked team of the 2015 season on Tuesday when the Norse travel to take on No. 23 Louisville. First serve from the Bass-Rudd Tennis Center is set for noon.
 
The Norse (5-11) are looking to bounce back from a 7-0 loss to USC Upstate on Saturday afternoon to close out a weekend of Atlantic Sun Conference action. Mate Virag and Jody Maginley teamed up to take a doubles win at No. 1 for NKU's only victory on the day.
 
Christopher Angulo has won three of his last four matches and leads the Norse with an 11-8 singles record, while Maginely and Adrian Isache each have seven singles wins to their credit on the year.
