Princeton is ranked 63rd in the ITA's rankings after a 7-4 opening to the season. The Tigers are 1-2 in their previous three games, falling to Old Dominion and Penn State, but getting back in the win column with a 4-0 victory over Temple.
Rice is 25-0 all-time against UTSA, with the last victory over the Roadrunners coming in a 4-0 victory last season. The Owls and Roadrunners have met six times since 2020, meeting twice during the 2022 season, once at home and once in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
The series between Rice and Princeton is tied at 2-2 each, with the Tigers earning the last win in the series, a 5-2 victory in New Jersey in 2019. Rice's last victory over Princeton was a 6-1 win at the George R. Brown Tennis Center the year prior.
