The Bucs opened the year in Lexington, Ky. against then-No. 22 Tulsa and then-No. 57 NC State as part of the ITA Kickoff Weekend. ETSU then headed for Georgia to battle Georgia State and then-No. 4 Georgia, before taking a trip to the central plains region to take on then-No. 73 Drake, Denver and then-No. 38 Nebraska. The team’s most recent trip was to Murfreesboro, Tenn., which wound up in a 4-3 loss to MTSU.
