The meet will be held at the Jaycee Golf Course in Cape Girardeau. Teams competing with the Redhawks include the Memphis Tigers, and Eastern Kentucky women's team.

The Redhawks men's and women's teams are coming off a week of rest, and with a healthy rested team, the Redhawks could make a strong statement on Friday.
