BABSON PARK, Mass.— Following a 2025 season that saw the team set a new single-season program record with 22 wins while advancing to the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals for the first time in school history, eighth-year Babson College men's tennis head coach Michael Kopelman released the 2026 spring portion of his program's schedule on Thursday morning.

The Beavers are looking to continue its strong play this spring after solid tournament action in the fall. The Green and White had a doubles team capture the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) New England Championship and advance to the ITA Cup semifinals, and both the doubles tandem and the top singles player were recognized with ITA national rankings.

Babson, which finished the 2024-25 season at No. 11 in the final ITA Division III rankings, will face a challenging spring schedule with as many as 10 matches against teams that were in last year's final ITA top 50 rankings, including four top-20 opponents.

The Beavers will head to eastern New York for a pair of matches at RPI (No. 12 in last year's final ranking) and Skidmore (No. 42) on February 21. The team will play No. 26 NYU at an indoor match in Cambridge on February 28 and visit No. 4 Tufts in Medford on March 1.

One of the highlights of the schedule is the spring break trip to California for several matches against nationally-ranked foes. After opening the week at Whitman in Redlands on March 18, the rest of the matches will be played at the Biszantz Family Tennis Center in Claremont, beginning with Colorado College on March 18. The Beavers will take on No. 5 Chicago on March 20 in the opening match of the Stag-Hen Invitational, a tournament that also includes No. 2 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, No. 8 Johns Hopkins, No. 17 Pomona-Pitzer, No. 21 Trinity (Texas) and No. 4 Tufts.

New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) competition gets underway against longtime rival MIT in the home opener on March 31, followed by a pair of conference tilts against Emerson and Wheaton on April 3. The Beavers will travel to No. 14 Amherst on April 1 and return home to host Clark in a NEWMAC match of April 11. The regular season winds up with a midweek match at Coast Guard on April 15, a home encounter against local rival No. 34 Brandeis on April 16, and the regular season finale at home against Springfield on April 18.

The NEWMAC Tournament kicks off with a quarterfinal match between the fourth and fifth seeds on April 22, with the semifinals slated for April 25 and the championship match at the site of the No. 1 seed on April 26. The tournament winner will receive an automatic berth into the NCAA Division III Championships.
