MINNEAPOLIS - The University of Minnesota tennis program will hit the road for the first time this season, traveling to Boise, Ida. this weekend for matchups against Oregon and Boise State. The Gophers (6-0) will face the Ducks (4-3) on Saturday, Feb. 17 at 12:00 PM (CT), then the Broncos (2-2) on Sunday, Feb. 18 at 11:00 AM (CT). both at Boas Indoor Tennis Center.
