LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The New Mexico State men's tennis team travels north this weekend to compete in the Lobo Invitational.
 
The three-day tournament begins Friday, Sept. 29, and ends on Sunday, Oct. 1, with teams rotating between the McKinnon Family Tennis Stadium and Linda Estes Tennis Complex. The six-team round-robin event is similar to the Balloon Fiesta last year, which was renamed since the tournament didn't coincide with the famous hot-air balloon festival.
 
NM State kicks it off Friday at 9 a.m. (MT) in doubles play against Denver followed singles action at 1 p.m. versus Air Force Academy at the McKinnon Family Tennis Stadium, weather permitting. Day two action has NM State facing off against Battle of I-25 rival UNM in doubles play before taking on Denver in singles. The final day of competition pits NM State against the Falcons in doubles action prior to battling the Lobos in singles.
