Ferris State University is set to host the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional men's tennis tournament on May 13-14 in Big Rapids, Michigan. The Bulldogs, who are seeded second in the region, will face off against seventh-seeded Grand Valley State in their opening match on Monday at 10 a.m. Eastern Time.

The regional competition includes another matchup between third-seeded Wayne State and sixth-seeded Tiffin, scheduled for 2 p.m. Eastern Time on the same day. The winners of these initial matches will compete in the bracket final on Tuesday at 10 a.m. Eastern Time.

Matches are planned to be held outdoors at Big Rapids High School courts, weather permitting. Should conditions require, they will move indoors to the FSU Racquet and Fitness Center. Fans can attend without charge at both venues.

In addition to attending in person, fans can watch a free live video stream available on YouTube via @FerrisAthletics, with particular focus on court one and updates from other courts. Live results will also be accessible online through the iOnCourt app.

This event marks Ferris State's first time hosting NCAA Regional men's action since the 2016-17 season. The winning team from this four-team event will advance to the NCAA-II round of 16 in Altamonte Springs, Florida, from May 20-25.

Ferris State's men's tennis team has secured its ninth consecutive tournament berth and its 27th all-time appearance in the NCAA Tournament. This season, they claimed both the GLIAC Regular-Season Championship and the league postseason tournament title. The Bulldogs finished their regular season with a record of 17-4 overall and an undefeated 6-0 in conference play.
