FORT MYERS, Fla. – FGCU begins a challenging schedule of three matches in five days on Friday when the Eagles host reigning Division II national champion and currently No. 1-ranked Barry at 1 p.m.

The Eagles enter the stretch with an 8-2 mark, having won three straight, and will be putting an unblemished home record on the line.

On Monday, Division I competition returns with No. 75 Furman (4-3) visiting the Eagles (8-2) at the FGCU Tennis Complex at 10 a.m. followed by Toledo (4-4) on Tuesday at 10 a.m.

A perennial national power and winners of four of the past five Division II national championships, Barry (7-0) won the 2025 national title and went 26-1 last year. Their only loss last year, and their last loss coming into Friday's match, was to FGCU last year in a 4-3 decision.

FGCU is 3-5 all-time against Barry but the Green & Blue have won the past three meetings and head coach Courtney Vernon boasts a 2-0 record against the Bucs.

On Monday, the Eagles will be looking for the program's first win over Furman when the 75^th-ranked Paladins visit Fort Myers for the third time overall and first since 2019. FGCU holds a 13-11 all-time mark against Southern Conference programs. Furman will be playing their first match since Feb. 15, a 4-2 win over Memphis that ended a two-match losing streak.

A pesky Toledo team will make its eighth appearance at the FGCU Tennis Complex on Tuesday. The Eagles have won two straight over Toledo but trail the all-time series 5-2. Overall, the Green & Blue are 8-7 against Mid-American Conference schools, including a 4-3 win over Miami (Ohio) in Fort Myers earlier this season.
