CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - Southeast Missouri (9-10, 3-5) plays its final three matches of the regular season at home this weekend.

The Redhawks play host to NCAA Division II foe Northeastern State (16-4) Friday, before concluding Ohio Valley Conference play against Murray State (12-5, 7-1) Saturday and Austin Peay (5-12, 2-6) Sunday. All three contests are slated for Noon, CT, at the Redhawks Tennis Complex.

After its last non-conference bout Friday, Southeast hits the final leg of its OVC season.
