Huskers Set Out Spring 2027 Schedule

Nebraska men's tennis announced its 2027 spring slate as the team will compete in 24 total duals including the Big Ten Tournament held in Ann Arbor, Mich. April 29 - May 2. 

Coach Peter Kobelt enters his fourth season as head coach of Nebraska after coming off a 12-14 season (3-10 Big Ten). The Huskers ended their season with an upset win over No. 39 Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament making it the sixth year in a row Nebraska has advanced to the quarterfinals in the tournament. 

The 2026-27 Nebraska roster features three returners, three freshmen signees and four tranfers. This season's team includes fifth year Kelly Giese, senior Henry Lamchinniah, juniors Aniss Rafiq, Jan Sebesta and Calin Stirbu, sophomores Jeri Lassila and Niels Van Der Sijs and freshmen Enzo Champignuelle, Vincent Dullinger and Micah Ward. 

Rafiq led the way this fall for the Nebraska squad posting an 8-3 singles record while making his way to the round of 32 in the ITA All-American Championships. He also paved his way through a tough draw in Big Ten Individuals to make it to the round of 32 in that tournament as well. 

In doubles, Lassila was the frontrunner on the team putting together a 5-2 doubles record with wins over Michigan St. and Wisconsin while also making the finals match in the consolation bracket of the tournament. 

The Huskers will kick off their season at home vs. Omaha on Jan. 22. They will then match up with Drake and Creighton in a doubleheader on Jan. 24. NU will host 14 home duals hoping to improve on its 10-6 home record from last season. The Huskers will also hit the road for 10 away duals. 

Home events, noted by bold font in the below schedule, will be held at the Sid and Hazel Dillon Tennis Center. Home duals have free admission and parking, and can be held either indoor or outdoor depending on weather conditions.
