LUBBOCK, Texas – The No. 5 Texas Tech Women's Tennis team is set to host the final two Big 12 home matches of the season this weekend at the McLeod Tennis Center.

With a win over the Cyclones on Friday, Texas Tech would be playing for a share of the Big 12 regular season title on Sunday. Two wins this weekend would put the Lady Raiders in position to play for the outright title next Saturday at TCU.
