Indiana men's tennis (6-3, No. 26) comes back from a 16-day break to take on No. 29 Notre Dame on Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET. This is the second meeting between the intrastate rivals this season, as the Hoosiers and Irish took the courts in Columbus, Ohio on January 28th, with IU prevailing 6-1.

Josh MacTaggart leads the Hoosiers this season, having won his last four matches at No. 2 singles, and he is ranked No. 83 nationally by the ITA.
Notre Dame (10-4) is coming off three-straight wins, with the last two coming at No. 30 Michigan and at home over No. 56 Michigan State. Losses for the Irish this season have come to No. 5 Duke, No. 7 Kentucky, No. 18 Illinois and the Hoosiers.
