Baseball is the only sport that plays doubleheaders, right?

Guess again.

The No. 66 Penn State men's tennis team plays a pair of matches on Sunday at the Sarni Tennis Center.

The Nittany Lions (6-2, 0-1 Big Ten) take on St. Bonaventure at noon in the early game and St. Francis at 6:30 p.m. in the nightcap.

"We have done a lot of training all year," sophomore Brad Nudell said. "We feel we are capable of doing it, we have a deep team. We have been training all fall and spring for these situations."

The Bonnies (5-2) come into State College as the better of the challengers this weekend. A pair of promising 6-foot 3-inch sophomores from Finland lead them, Vili Nurmi, their No. 1 seed, played No. 1 last year as a freshman. Mikko Haulos, the team's No. 2 seed, had 27 wins last year in singles and doubles combined.

The third spot on the Bonnies is held by freshman Joel Carney. Carney along with Nurmi and Haulos each won two matches last time out against Navy.

A young team like the Bonnies is a dangerous team to face, and the Lions already know that fact very well. The Lions were beaten 4-3 against then-No. 72 Central Florida on March 8. The Golden Knights are also a team made up of predominantly underclassmen.

"St. Bonaventure is a good team," said senior Damon Accardi. "It could be tough, but we have to get up for everybody and the fans help out a lot at home."

This weekend the Lions also have the opportunity to stretch their non-conference home-winning streak to 55 matches.

"Coming in this weekend, we know St. Bonaventure is doing pretty well," Nudell said. "We can take no team lightly. We want to keep our consecutive non-conference home winning streak."

St. Francis (3-3) has won two matches in a row coming into the match-up with the Lions. The team has just five members, with two freshmen, two juniors and one senior.

"One of things we try to do is get as many as the guys in action as we can," said Penn State men's tennis coach Jan Bortner. "We try to get guys extra experience and play guys who haven't played as much."
