All 10 in-season St. Thomas varsity sports teams will compete Saturday or Sunday, with a pair of tennis competitions on campus, and six other teams playing in the Twin Cities.
Tennis
St. Thomas opens its 2012 men's tennis season Saturday at noon at Anderson Fieldhouse against UW-LaCrosse. There's no admission charge for spectators.
Last fall, Coach Terry Peck achieved his 500th career victory with Tommie men's and women's tennis.
The Tommie men had a 15-4 finish last season, with all four defeats against ranked teams. They graduated two starters but return a good nucleus, led by senior Dan Cooper and juniors Brian McCarthy and Brendan O'Connell.
LaCrosse went 18-7 in 2011 although it fell to the Tommies early in the season by a 5-4 score. The Eagles are 0-1 thus far in 2012 with a 7-2 loss last week to Carleton.
On Sunday, the Tommie women will hold a 9 a.m. home match against an alumni team. The UST women went 1-1 last fall and opened the spring season last Saturday with a 9-0 loss to Division I Creighton.
Indoor Track and Field
